Transportation Secretary Duffy wants to build a nuclear reactor on the moon

[Delldude]

Just leave the moon, Mars and other planets alone.

We wouldn't be where we are technologically today without venturing into space.

You should not laugh at things you cannot understand

That would be pretty much everything.

It's laughable anyone still think it's worth mining blue cheese on the Moon ... all the minerals found there are as abundant here on Earth ... just the Earth is 6 times the mass ... the Earth, Moon and Mars are made of the same stuff ... condensed out of the same dust cloud ...

A surprising number of ore bodies here on Earth are caused by water percolating through the rock ... something we won't find on the Moon or Mars ... God forbid there be coal there ...

There might even be something useful you never heard of before

But how could that be when libs know everything about everything?

Or so they seem to think

Like what?

Well, they DO belong to America.

Why shouldn’t we develop them.

No, they don't.

What purpose would developing the moon have?
It has no atmosphere.

[Deplorable Yankee]

Why not? It was the "Space Race" against hostile countries that got us to the moon in the first place. We already had our flag planted there, so we should claim it as our own.

Make the Moon Great Again!

Transportation Secretary Duffy to announce nuclear reactor development plan for the moon​

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will reportedly announce plans this week to build a nuclear reactor on the moon, according to media reports.

NASA has had discussions about the building of a reactor on the lunar surface, but Duffy's directive gives a more definitive timeline and expedites the process. Duffy also serves as the interim administrator of the space agency.

"Fission surface power (FSP) is both an essential and sustainable segment of the lunar and Mars power architectures for future human space exploration missions," the directive states. "To properly advance this critical technology to be able to support a future lunar economy, high power energy generation on Mars, and to strengthen our national security in space, it is imperative the agency move quickly."

China and Russia have announced on several occasions a joint effort to place a reactor on the moon by the mid-2030s, NASA said. If successful, that would potentially result in the declaration of a "keep-out zone," which could inhibit the United States from establishing a presence there.

"There are very specific areas of the moon that are critical that who gets there first gets to plant their flag," Duffy recently said on "Hannity." "We know the Chinese want to get there as well, so speed is of the essence."

The move means that NASA will continue to have input in nuclear development, despite the Pentagon’s recent cancellation of a joint program on nuclear-powered rocket engines.

The agency will be required to solicit proposals for a 100 kilowatt nuclear reactor to launch by 2030, around the time China intends to put a man on the moon, within 60 days of the directive.

Duffy spoke with Fox News about how NASA's Artemis program aims to return Americans to the Moon.

"We're going to set up a base camp," Duffy said. "And what we learn on the moon is going to take us to Mars."

It's Trump and his cult that wants to go there and develop it.

They can stay there, to create their utopia.

Neither does the ocean, but we still harvest it for food and pump oil out of the ocean floor.

You Americans are unbelievable, Mr Salt .

The reason why America wants an official base is to more openly mine the most valuable energy related substance yet known.

Helium 3

You would not believe what is going on already on the Dark side and often the nearside ( all photos are shopped ) .

The problem Deep State has is
explaining the trillions stolen to create the existing mining bases and to explain existing co-operation agreements with China , Russia and Others.

Just do some real research and it is all available .
I have been following these matters for 20 years and heard the testimony of dozens of whistleblowers who have worked on the moon ( and Mars ) .

I suspect some / much of this will be disclosed later this year ---all linked to the infamous UFO ( UAP) file, plus ( possibly) Deep State's plans to use a "Sky Event" as their ultimate False Flag to control the Sheeple Herd .

For those who cannot believe what they are reading --- so be it .

The question is "return on investment" ... how much will it cost to put a yet-to-be-invented nuclear fusion reactor on the Moon whose only resource is the fuel to run the reactor ... banded iron formations require large oceans to form ... that's only on Earth ... if anyone said we could make steel on the Moon lied to you ... we can't ... and we sure as hell can't afford to rocket enough steel to the Moon ...

The Moon is made entirely of rocks ... and we have plenty of those exact same rocks here on Earth ...

The sad truth is these manned space missions only advance the science of manned space missions, not much else is done out there ... and robots can handle what little science is to be done ... PLUS robot technology can be used here on Earth ... for a much improved "return on investment" ...

Since it does not exist yet your objections are premature

IIRC, launching from the moon is far less costly than from earth. I think that may be a long term goal.

 

[kyzr]

Sure.

Enough to send people to build a nuclear reactor on the moon OR build a white house ballroom?

The WH ballroom is free, a gift from Trump. You're welcome.

Not sure what the NASA or space budget is, but tariffs should cover.
