This project might have value. But is it worth borrowing money for it, money that our grandchildren will be struggling to repay?

We are a debtor nation. So that question must be asked.

That would mean they would have to launch fissionable material into space.

Isn't that against International law?

Elon is bypassing the moon straight to Mars.

NASA Director;
Sean Patrick Duffy (born October 3, 1971) is an American politician, former television presenter, lobbyist, prosecutor, and lumberjack who has served as the United States secretary of transportation since 2025.

Friend of Elon rejected as NASA director;
Jared Taylor Isaacman (born February 11, 1983) is an American billionaire entrepreneur, pilot, and commercial astronaut. He received a bachelor’s degree with a major in professional aeronautics from the fully online Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University, Worldwide Campus. He is the founder and chairman of Shift4 Payments, a payment processor, and the founder of Draken International, which provides adversary training to the U.S., British, and other NATO air forces. Through his leadership in private spaceflight, Isaacman has been credited with advancing competition in the space industry and reducing reliance on government programs. As of May 2025, his estimated net worth is US$1.4 billion.

Isaacman commanded Inspiration4 – the first all-civilian spaceflight – using SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Resilience which launched from Kennedy Space Center on September 16, 2021. He later led Polaris Dawn, during which he became the first private citizen to perform a spacewalk.

They need to quit messing with the moon. It isn’t that big. Leave it alone.

Cool, they can run some transmission lines back to Earth to help with our energy shortages.

Nope

Outer space treaty says no nuclear weapons in space

The surface of the moon is about the same as Africa. Lots of minerals

High ground. As important as Panama or Greenland

A reactor would pave the way for a base and mining
