Russian space agency says Trump paving way to seize other planets

The Russian space agency, Roscosmos, accused Donald Trump on Tuesday (7 April) of creating a basis to take over other planets by signing an executive order outlining US policy on commercial mining in space.
The executive order, which Roscosmos said damaged the scope for international cooperation in space, was signed on Monday.
It said the United States would seek to negotiate “joint statements and bilateral and multilateral arrangements with foreign states regarding safe and sustainable operations for the public and private recovery and use of space resources”.
It said US citizens should have the right to engage in such activity and that “outer space is a legally and physically unique domain of human activity, and the United States does not view it as a global commons”.

Dang, they’re onto us again- How do they do it? How do they always know what our secret plans are? It’s spooky- Ironical, down right stupefying-
Next year, we may try to take over other galaxies too- whoops- the cat’s out of the bag

It’d be even scarier now. Capsule lands in Kazakhstan, and they are met by people dressed as apes speaking Russian!

There are asteroids in the Ort Cloud which consist of almost pure platinum or pure gold.
It will not be long before we are “mining” them.

If we land a man (or even a woman) on them first they are clearly ours.

Except right now we’re hitching rides on Russian spacecraft to get to our space station. Because we have ZERO man rated craft at this point in time.
Don’t count the Russians out.
