China National Space Administration, the state owned space corporation, may be planning a “takeover” of the Moon as part of its military space program, NASA’s administrator Bill Nelson has told newspaper Bild. During the interview Nelson affirmed that the United States was involved in the space race with Beijing.

In 2035, he iterated, China will complete construction of its own Moon station, and will launch several moon programmes.

I hope China does colonize the moon. The tranny-face, fat-cheering, weak-willed, Sodom-and-Gomorrah that is the formerly United States sure isn’t going to do it. I’d believe Elon Musk would colonize the moon before the US Government.

Take the high ground. And in relation to the earth, the moon is the highest ground currently within reach. Even the satellites ringing the earth have been weaponized by the CCP.

And if they don’t get control of the Moon, they will deliberately start the Kessler Syndrome, so no one can control it.

Sounds like an episode of Apple TV’s “For All Mankind”, which we are absolutely hooked on.

meme....

Was that the Space:1999 episode where the Moon finally had rainfall but then the costar said the craters will actually fill in with water like our oceans and they’ll drown?

Chinese will probably offer to sell the water to drought states in the Southwest on Earth at a huge profit.

I watched it. I spent the movie torn between, “What the hell?” and, laughter. They even made a sequel!

A mass driver would be suitable for throwing rocks, particularly since they would have a Tunguska-scaled impact upon striking their targets on Earth.

I guess you finally figured out why Trump started the armed force branch called Space Force.

He knew.

China has no “affirmative action”.

That is a huge advantage—meritocracy is critical for human outer space exploration.

You are so right…..when NASA went woke, they turned to crap….they are more concerned with chasing the glow-bull warming scam than going into space. Private industry will lead the way to the stars.
