As far as I know, the USA is still the only nation to have sent men to the Moon, planted our flag there and brought them back to Earth. Perhaps we should militarize this largely unexplored real estate? For example, I am very interested in deploying a Moon-based "super Laser" as well as magnetic "rail gun" technology
Will the lesser nations of the world ever master inter-Lunar space travel? Probably not, but why take chances?
Maybe we should just declare American ownership and pre-empt any foreign challenges, after all: finders-keepers!

EDIT: Lol, "treaties" are made to be broken. There's simply no need to let the lesser civilizations mire us down into Mediocracy

The Chinese will be the first to actually plant a flag on the moon,and they will be the first to install weapons systems on the moons surface! It's ironic since the Chinese invented the rocket anyway!

We found it, but can we keep it? It would take us 10 years and a much bigger NASA budget to build the infrastructure to go back to the moon.

Agreed, because...it's true. I can't believe that many liberals still think the whole thing was staged... yo lib's would you like some government cheese to go with all that whine?

I think you have an excellent idea and since you proposed the idea I think you should have the honor of leading the expedition. I'll ask you in public since you wouldn't answer me in private. Did you violate me for answering one of your other questions? You are a sorry example of an American, now you can violate me again.

With the US up to so many silly projects, we do not have to do anything against them, we just have to wait.
Congratulations, you are on the track of becoming the next USSR
