Trump's top second term priority? Moon base.

Stupid motherfucker doesn't know his ass from a snake pit. I hope it's handed to him in a couple weeks.

A friend of mine's project is on it's way to Jezero crater right now.
My guess if Biden takes office, the Republicans are going to start bitching about NASA funding and if they get a hold of the house in 2 years they are going to fight tooth and nail to shitcan this stuff due (long list of political nonsense I don't want to get into)
Goal for GOP in case of a Biden win is to "fuck shit up".

1, 2 and 4 are all being worked on by Space X.

NASA and Space-X are already co-operating launches. why would the GOP want to use tax payer money to compete with them?

or is Trump just trying to take credit for what SpaceX is achieving?

The irony of small govt, pro free market, fiscal constraint is lost on them.

Mind you, overall I'm in favor of shifting more spending on science and space agencies (and away from defense,) however this is the party that will cry for austerity as soon as Biden wins, but will spend like drunken sailers up until then.

They are already crying for austerity which shows they believe Trump is toast.

I'm still waiting for the BBW...

Trumpie's Space Force needs a new home base...

That's exactly why it's super super important to take the Senate, the WH and retain control of the House this election, and it would be real real helpful to retain that in 2022 and 2024. It could happen, I sure hope it does, and that Biden keeps his promise to represent all America and makes that clear to any honest person.

More wasted proxy wars. We need to maintain a presence. Resources would be better spent on on infrastructure on this ball. No problem with scientific pursuits in space. Colonization is an engineering problem that we don't have the resources for. Mining asteroids would be a better prospect.

 

[Muse]

Yeah, man on the moon is very very retarded fantasy. Not saying it didn't happen, just saying it's a huge waste of resources better used on other projects.

I'd rather see housing for the homeless than housing on the moon.

Trump doesn't give a damn about the homeless. He'll just blame others for that. He eliminated Obama's pandemic response system, saying if we ever needed a pandemic response, the people were readily available, stupid asshole that he was. Then, when the pandemic came for him/us he put total idiots in charge, Pence and Kushner in dueling ineffective efforts. This is the idiot louse we have in chief.

Gravity wells are a big drag.

3D printers can make fairly low resolution structures pretty well. They're not going to print advanced electronics from moon rock, and you need the electronics to drive additional printers.

.........not yet

housing the homeless on the moon, it's a win-win!!

Damn, don't give them any ideas. Qanon will be talking about this next week.

One never knows, but historically NASA receives benign neglect from both parties.

Dems like the science aspect of it, GOP like the rockets and national prestige & the public generally likes manned and unmanned space missions.

While I’m biased, a dollar spent on NASA generally results in greater than a dollar return investment. Not to mention the science and technology returns and the unquantifiable benefit of inspiring kids to get into science and engineering.

“Estimates of the return on investmentin the space program range from $7 for every $1 spent on the Apollo Program to $40 for every $1 spent on space development today. The critical factor driving productivity growth is technology.”

I’ll also point out we can do more than one thing in this country. We can help reduce homelessness and still do space exploration.

How about housing for those orphaned kids Trump kidnapped at the border? Maybe the moon base is for them.
People are saying that are very well taken care of.

 

[cytg111]

Storing the children you separate and the border so you dont have to hear the crying?

He recently was told Saturn had rings and thought it was a wall. Going to do the same thing with moon.

Reasons Trump wants to go to the moon:

1. Golf. Tee shots would be splooge worthy.

2. He would weigh less. Still obese, but he would weigh less.

3. Three words: Trump Interstellar Hotel

4. No extradition treaty.

5. No term limits as Emperor of the Moon.

6. Space Force. Space Force. Space Force.

7. And finally, Stephen Miller's wet dream: No Mexicans!!

I’m thinking a space 1999 thing where if he gets into trouble he can explode a nuclear stock pile and send the moon off into space.

However as everything with the President he has no plan, he spent very little time and energy making this list.

Three and seven are mutually exclusive.
