No joke. Global warming/climate-change is real because “leading scientists say....” The liberals that claim to be “into science” couldn’t pass an 8th grade science test.
Whoever wrote this garbage article put zero thought into any of this and can’t conceptualize that this magic elevator that they’ve developed a fetish for is about 1000 times more difficult and expensive to build than an on-going Apollo program. The moon’s distance from Earth varies between 225,000 miles and 252,000 miles so how do they expect to compensate for that constantly-changing distance? This whole thing is pure stupidity.
