Japan Says It Will Put A Person on the Moon By the Late 2020’s

I guess we will see if NASA’s budget will continue to be supported to actually put a person on the Moon this decade:

Japan revised the schedule of its space exploration plans on Tuesday, aiming to put a Japanese person on the moon by the latter half of the 2020s.

“Not only is space a frontier that gives people hopes and dreams but it also provides a crucial foundation to our economic society with respect to our economic security,” Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told a meeting to finalize the plan.

According to the draft schedule of the plan, Japan aims to put the first non-American on the moon as part of the Artemis program, a U.S.-led initiative that aims to return astronauts to the moon.

NASA is far too worried about trannies and global warming to care about the moon.

We have to rely on Elon Musk for that.

…as long as the media can quit shìtting on him long enough to explain the wonders of George Floyd.

Every American institution is broken… and NASA is as well.

They should send a pair of Koreans, as a sort of reparation for those 15,000 nose tombs.

I have a couple “know-it-all” types in mind…

Surely they could do anything the Chrysanthemum Crowd needs done. And they could plant a “Dokdo is Ours” flag at the moonbase they create.
