They’re looping around it, going farther than any humans ever, and scanning the whole thing for mineral deposits and possible base construction sites. The plan is to build a base then shipyard to go out farther from there.
Neither of those things has anything to do with this. You can eliminate the NASA budget and you still won’t have healthcare lol. You have to actually fight for that.
Imperialism is wrong. Expansionism is perfectly fine. There’s nothing wrong with a nation or people improving their standard of living by gathering more resources and increasing their capabilities. It’s only wrong when that expansion is at the cost of other human beings or the environment.
I’m all in favor of space expansion. Maybe some day we can move our most polluting industries off the Earth’s surface. Hell, my dream would be a world where most people don’t even live on the planet itself. You want to live a big resource intensive life, the equivalent of modern suburban living? Do it in space. Want to do industrial agriculture? Do it in space. Want to run a giant factory? Do it in space. If you want to live on Earth, you have to abide by strict resource utilization and environmental impact rules. Everything else goes to space. The Earth becomes one big nature preserve with a few dense cities and organic farms scattered about.
Same, I just read it like: Somewhere under some fascist ultra right regime they achieved something. Can’t really get hyped about nazis doing cool stuff, because they do it for nazi reasons.
Oh look kim yong un built a park. Putin openend a new school for gymnasts. Trump built golf resort on the moon. Yawn 🥱
ESA built the service module which keeps the crew alive, and one of the Astronauts is Canadian. This is probably the most insulting response I’ve seen yet.
This has also been in the works since 2017, through three administrations. All Trump had to so was not try to cancel them like a dumbass.
The current administration lacks any ability to build, or latch onto anything in that vein long term. Most they could do is drop a tesla on the moon advertising a new grift.
I can’t feel excited about this This feels like part of a new US expansionist agenda.
God you people are insufferable
This is the culmination of a lot of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears from a lot of engineers. It is the furthest thing from expansionism.
Its probably the only decent thing the U.S. is doing right now that I don’t feel bad about.
What is the reason for needing to go to the moon?

sounds expansionist
But why? What is it that we need that isn’t on Earth already?
Space. The final frontier.
We’re floating on a tiny pebble in the infinite ocean of space, why not explore?
we dont have healthcare and homelessness still exsists?

There’s a Canadian on board, we have healthcare.
