NASA Administrator Bill Nelson is being mocked for suggesting the far side of the moon is always “dark” and can’t explain why China is interested in exploring that part of the moon.

“What do you think the Chinese are trying to get at, at the back side of the moon?” Rep. David Trone (D-MD) asked Nelson at a congressional hearing last week.

“They are going to have a lander on the far side of the moon, which is the side which is always in dark. Uh, we’re not planning to go there,” he said.

There is for people in our government. And if they aren’t biologists they can’t tell us what a woman is. And that we can’t place too many Marines on Guam because it would capsize.

They're probably trying to find the secret base on the dark side of the Moon where the Nazis left all their flying saucers.

I wonder if replace would be in order changing dark to back

That is good news.

Thanks, jotto.

I usually like schlock flicks but Iron Sky was just blaahh....boring. Didn’t finish it. Plan9 was a masterpiece in comparison.

The obvious answer is they are scheming to claim the moon for the helium 4 that is up there.

And the most embarrassing of all, our POTUS and VPOTUS.

No, no, no, no. Completely and comprehensively wrong. Our is a representative democracy, doncha know? Accordingly, the "most embarrassing of all" are the American voters.

Fun fact...Helium was first discovered in America...in Dexter, KS.

Why are we even talking about the moon when Guam is tipping over?
