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?

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.

Well, at least they aren’t planning on installing wind-generators.

I was just thinking. Man will be the first to introduce deadly concentrated radioactive material into the vast universe of space.

The space race had some value back in the last century but not now.

Going to the Moon and other planents is ridiculous.

I could see packing huge shuttles full of libs and Rats and firing them into the Sun as the only worthwhile point of a space program.

Great... Maybe we will finally be able to install a power grid, and illuminate the dark side of the moon. Lets check with Hank Johnson, just to be sure there are no obvious risks in doing so.

The comments on this Zero Hedge thread are wonderful.

The project is going to amuse us now that late night comedy is going away...

The best suggestion was that we have the WNBA play their games there—then they won’t have to worry about hecklers throwing green stuff on the court.
