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?

Of course the moon in uninhabited!
We all know the Selenites were wiped out by the germs brought there by professor Cavor in 1899.

Well, there are moon men. I saw it in Dick Tracy a long time ago.

the moon, an empty space rock


We know this because we have explored less than 5% of the Earth-facing side and less than .001% of the far side. That is how the the blind man determined he had a elephant when he grasped its tail.

And apparently neither Neil nor Vladimir know about that.

> Talk about government waste. <

Yep. A government that has no debt and is running a surplus can afford to fund optional programs. But we do not have such a government.

The argument can be made that such programs lead to technological breakthroughs. True enough. But you can do basic research without having to go to the Moon.

These are people who went through academia at a time when the Left’s cultural deconstructionists in the “humanities” were selling the narratives about “trigger words”. The stupid news critter her “colonization” and all sorts of triggers went off in his brain, and stopped him from evaluating scientific “colonization” in the context of the moon.

The Moon is a surprisingly good environment for an airless body - its regolith can be used to build shelters from radiation and meteor impacts, as can the vast system of lava tubes; water & oxygen can be made by processing the rock. Nothing is wasted, except your comment which was on par with Vladimir Duthiers’.

I was just watching SpaceX practicing a heavy lift rocket takeoff, remarked to my friend: “if NASA had started out as a private enterprise we would probably be exploring Pluto by now.”

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.

They're talking about moving to the moon, not moving the moon.

It's the Moon Maidens that are most suspect. They seduce the lunar colonists and steal their wallets.

To me, the biggest concern with colonizing the moon would be the increased likelihood that it may capsize.

Its because of NASA and others that we are not exploring the stars now. See Project Orion, killed in 1964 for lack of political will.

Colonialization will lead to the white man stealing all that green cheese from the Moon beings!

We should play it safe and colonize the sun instead.

Or Trump could announce that no one is allowed to colonize the sun.
Then secretly fund the Democrat mass exodus to the sun.

And all of that money went into the pockets of scientists, engineers, and manufactures, who turn purchased houses and fed their families.

“Is Moonmen racist?”

Worse. It’s sexist. Writing MoonMEN excludes females, not to mention all the other genders out there.
