During the interview Nelson affirmed that the United States was involved in the space race with Beijing.

It’s the high grounds it’s a solid move. Then they can drop rocks on us.

President Xi privately ponders ancient advice and wisdom:
“If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do,
Is fall in love!”

Yup.

To be specific for those unfamiliar with the concept - there is no part of the Earth’s surface that you can’t hit using cheap magnetic accelerators and lunar rocks serving as incredibly powerful artillery. Practically unlimited ammo supply and if you absolutely have to, you can power the accelerators by solar panels. Anything coming out of Earth’s gravity well will be seen coming and be the recipient of several kinetic kill projectiles.

Control the orbitals (in this case by setting up a bombardment system on the moon), you control the planet.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they had and they’re taking it themselves for that reason.

In a few months, it will be 50 years since a man has walked on the moon. Of course like every human who has walked on the moon, he was an American. The math to accomplish this was done on slide rules. Apparently the moon is now well beyond our reach.

On a happy note, VP Harris has announced that we are abandoning the testing of anti-satellite tests, to serve ‘as a good example’.
