More US taxpayer money going to the Military Industrial Complex. Nothing to see here. As if 90% of our taxes didn't go to our military budget already.

I have shares in Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Booze Allen Hamilton, and General Dynamics for this EXACXT reason.

"We haven't been back to the moon in 75 years" but now were going to build a moon-train.....

Do people really believe we haven't been back to the moon?

Some say the "moon landing" was a hoax......yea sureeeeeeee

Is it really that much of a reach to say we've got a base on the moon or mars? What because NASA didn't say anything lol

Thoughts?

I noticed that the price tag of this venture was conveniently left out. I'm not aware of the benefits of such a project, are there rare moon minerals worth extracting or something like that? Cause it seems like this will cost the American taxpayer(tm) hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars

Don't worry the money will get "lost" like the 2.3 trillion of missing dollars Donald Rumfeld "reported" the day before 9/11.

It's all black money and black projects with no financial or judicial accountability.

Yes there are rare minerals worth extracting as well as a few trillion pounds of water/ice.

The average American has no idea that a quarter of every dollar they make goes to the military budget.

Moon train sounds pretty cool so I'm sure people will support it. Fuck repairing are train tracks in America. Fuck building a mag-train from New York to LA. Fuck are crumbling infrastructure we getting a moon train baby!!

money laundering scheme. thats what everything else is about why shouldnt this be any different?
lot of weird chit said about moon landing. if you try to talk abourt it you get reeee'ed at. people get mad if you challenge what they want to believe

watch this stuff, offical nasa video. zero gravity makes your hair stand straight up, ya bullchit. and can you count how many edits there are? there is another vid proving the chit is fishy if i find it i will post it.
Karen Nyberg Shows How You Wash Hair in Space

Of course that's what it is I just want to see if Americans think it's asinine.

There are so many needs infrastructure wise around the country.

The cost of a project like this is net-negative. It's just a "can we do it". Ok "let's do it". Why not!

They might blow all the money and the project fail and us tax payers will still have foot the bill.

I already see people on both sides bitching about this because after the last 4 years of our country edging in the wrong direction this is like the icing on the cake.

Yeaaaa we know the average citizen can barely get by and that'll only get worse so were going to build a moon train lol

money is essentially fake. it only has value because we are all chumps. 'tax payers dont really 'pay for anything

i used to have a really good vid showing the chumps in the iss. funny thing is though it doesnt mean the iss is fake.

they got us killing each other for pieces of paper or blips in a computer

Yes the money printers don't work. We work to pay the money printers. We work long hard hours and they just print the currency.

Now they want to go away with all that and just have a CBDC(Central bank digital currency) and not just country to country. Worldwide like you know.

There are tons of discrepancies and oddities from videos shared by NASA/ISS but like you said they obviously aren't all faked although many have been proven to be being taped at their facilities(which recreate the conditions encountered in outer space).

Anything space related is basically top secret and what they trickle down to us with "rocket launches" is all show.

There is a much higher likelihood that we've already reverse engineered extra terrestrial craft. The most famous quote from the "father of rocketry himself" Verner Von Braun, "The enemy at first he said, the enemy against whom we’re going to build a space based weapons system… first the Russians are going to be considered the enemy… then terrorists would be identified and that was soon to follow… then we were going to identify third world crazies, we now call them nations of concern… The next enemy was asteroids… [and] against asteroids we’re going to build space based weapons.

And the funniest one of all, was against what he called aliens, extraterrestrials – that would be the final card. And over, and over, and over during the four years that I knew him and was giving his speeches for him, he would bring up that last card.
‘And remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We’re going to have to build space based weapons against aliens’, and all of it, he said, is a lie.”

Is that not where we are today lol

I personally think it abhorrent that we're spending so much on off-planet exploration and infrastructure plans while global inequality remains a blight on our species. I also think it unethical that a small percentage of humanity, comprised of astrophysicists in particular, are making decisions that have major real and potential ramifications for all of us. Human history has been marked by a consistent presence of abuse, exploitation, and general inhumane treatment that I think it naïve to believe the same won't be found in our efforts to become a multi-planetary species. The power differential between governments and the wealthy v. everyday people continues to widen, and at least there's some theoretical recourse on Earth by being able to protest, seize means of production, and physically confront those in power. Once this has changed, and the billionaires have absconded to the moon or Mars, we as everyday people will be absolutely fucked.

100% agree and they've gotten away with all of it by distracting all of us with a never ending circus.

People like Stephen Hawking amongst others have called people like Elon Musk delusional for wanting to "Go to Mars" so our species can "survive". The planet we live on is in bad shape and they are a bad father trying to abandon their child for a "fresh start" in an inhospitable place where likely many who even take the journey will die on the way or die when they get to Mars. The human body is not meant to be on Mars. The human body is not meant to be in space. But rich people who don't give a fuck or people who want to "dedicate their life to science" are all about it.

I've been to the poorest most remote areas of India and seen human suffering and animal suffering that would bring anyone to tears. When I see these rich billionaires and their lifestyle I actually feel sorry for them. They literally can only feed their ego day in and day out.

What use would it be if a small group barely survives on Mars or Europa and the actual planet we were born into becomes uninhabitable. Not exactly a victory.

It's the same with enlightenment/realization. How does being in total bliss in a cave in the mountains of Tibet help anyone but yourself. It's pure selfishness like you said.
