This CBS host's objection to "colonizing" the moon was so dumb that even Neil DeGrasse Tyson was flabbergasted

If the average person is just as stupid as Vladimir Duthiers, I'm beginning to understand why they think Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a genius.

CBS host questions if it is a good idea to colonize the moon because “we know how the Age of Colonialism worked on this planet." pic.twitter.com/bof7kap98O— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) August 6, 2025

Vladimir: Will [the moon] A., serve as a functional life source eventually for human beings? And B., we know how the age of colonialism worked on this planet. Should we be trying to colonize and saying there's a keep-out zone that no other countries can participate in... ?

This dude seriously asked if humanity colonizing the moon, an empty space rock, might be bad because of the "evils" of the past colonial age. (Woke Mind Virus: Level 100)

Even hard-left atheist goober Neil DeGrasse Tyson was flummoxed.

Tyson: 'The real problem with colonization history in Western civilization is that there were people already there. There are no moon beings that are being displaced...'

Vlad: 'As far as we know.'

You know it's really bad when Neil is the one making sane points like, there are no native moon people. 🤦‍♂️— Freedom Rings (@fr33domR1ngz) August 6, 2025

He wrote out this idea pre-show, thought it over, and went with it live on air, all the while thinking he was going to score a woke point or two pic.twitter.com/ULa2aIJDRY— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) August 6, 2025

How do people like this have high-paying jobs on national TV?

Billions of dollars wasted going to places that do not support carbon and water based life forms.

Talk about government waste.

“Billions of dollars wasted going to places that do not support carbon and water based life forms.”

The government is going to beat that for waste.

They will spend the money and still not go there.

Much of the money will be spent on propagandists and graphic artists.

Is 2025 fun or what?

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a complete media creation. Completely without merit. A 100% DEI celebrity.

Yeah, messing with the only moon we have, potentially affecting gravity, tides, and menstruation cycles.

Sounds like a plan. What could go wrong?

We should play it safe and colonize the sun instead.

I enjoy NGT as comedy—definitely better than late night TV.

For $288,000,000,000.00, we got Tang, pretty pictures and bragging rights?

“ a reasonable figure for the total cost of U.S. moon exploration (Apollo, Gemini, and robotic lunar programs) in today’s dollars (2025) is approximately $280–$300 billion, with $288 billion being a frequently cited value for the combined efforts.” - Grok.

Only leftist parents would name their black child “Vladimir”.

Is he trying to say that colonizing is a bad thing?

By 2030 AI graphics will be good enough that they can fake all of it and nobody will be the wiser.

That would save us a lot of money.

I once saw a cartoon that had astronauts finding Alice Kramden there. She would probably enjoy the company of the “colonists”.

As a white person, I just have to say that I don’t care if carbon based life is there or not. Even if there is a small chance of some life form being there, I want to steal their land from them just to prove my racial superiority.

Let’s test whether robots can survive and reproduce there first. Exclusively tapping the resources of the moon and the sun. Then the question is how can we tax them, generating a profit?

This is unfair to the indigenous people of the moon.
