Yeah, Baby! Back to the Moon!

I spent my teenage years on the Space Coast during the Apollo program. The place was booming, man. Lots of very high paid jobs for engineers, rocket scientists and the like. Plus all the ancillary industries from small parts manufacturers to restaurants to car mechanics. When the program stopped it was like the Great Depression. I remember our neighbor, an engineer who worked on the steering systems for the booster motors, begging my Dad for a job as a surveyor. He ended up hanging himself in his garage, poor sod, couldn't get a job anywhere. My best mate's Dad was an electrical engineer, he ended up working in a sandwich shop and drinking himself to death. A new space program is money far, far, far better spent than practically anything else I can think of.

Indeed.

CERN was HTML

Mainly a mix of Darpa and Cern

[Brian Peacock]

OK, it was DARPA. Derp!

Setting up a world beating renewable energy sector would be better.

Yeah but I can see the launches from the back yard.

The moon is a test bed. Better to set up a permanent manned station on the moon, which is only days or weeks away, than on Mars where no help can be had for months. So many technologies could be tested and refined there without the more extreme risk associated with Mars. Imagine what we would learn from a lunar observatory, for example.
I say just fucking do it, man.

They've already done it...years ago. There's been permanent bases on the Moon & Mars, and probably elsewhere for decades.
The Apollo missions were a distraction, for the sheeple to keep thinking that it was all an undiscovered mystery. There have been TWO space programs running in parallel: one the primitive thing with rockets (the equivalent of a horse & buggy). The second with advanced technology, such as Mach Tractors, anti-gravity generators & plasma drives.
The advanced drives do trips to Mars in a matter of hours to days. To the Moon in just an hour. They are ready for immediate use & re-use, just like a car or truck. They get there, and they can leave again straight away.
Many of the so-called missing are on those bases and others. Such as some of the thousands of children who go missing every year. But the bottom feeders are not told. There is no reason for the sheeple to know anything. They have no right to know. They are only expected to serve.
And soon, with intelligent & versatile robotics, there will be no more use for sheeple. The next phase of intelligent life on Earth will replace Homo Sapiens. And that's less than a generation away.

Since the mid-seventies the species seems to have lost its vision and aspirations. The TV science programs of that era, such as "Tomorrows World" and "Towards 2000" predicted 1 day work weeks & Moon bases by the 80's and Mars bases by the year 2,000. We saw confirmation of that in the movie "2001, a Space Odyssey".

Then it all went to pot. Although it was possible to do those things governments lacked vision & became frightened by the prospects. Not since JFK has there been a visionary president. Hopefully, Trump is that president... we'll see.

Will the real Galaxian please stand up?

Are you trolling yourself?

Those assertions and the existence of those technologies unfasifuable - no more credible than saying they have hollowed out the moon and you get there by teleportation pods. The possibility of something being true is not proportional to the number of YouTube videos asserting it.

The advanced drives do trips to Mars in a matter of hours to days. To the Moon in just an hour. They are ready for immediate use & re-use, just like a car or truck. They get there, and they can leave again straight away.

No doubt you will also claim that these vehicles use dark technologies that are unvisible to everybody and everything studying the sky, that their energy sources are novel and produce no discernable emissions, and that their manufacture is economically untraceable too. Unfalsidiabla claims like these are inditinguishable from falsehood, fiction or fantasy.

Many of the so-called missing are on those bases and others. Such as some of the thousands of children who go missing every year. But the bottom feeders are not told. There is no reason for the sheeple to know anything. They have no right to know. They are only expected to serve.

Whom, and to what end?

And soon, with intelligent & versatile robotics, there will be no more use for sheeple. The next phase of intelligent life on Earth will replace Homo Sapiens. And that's less than a generation away.

So an aspect of our own technology has become self aware, gone dark, and is usurping our entire planetary biology? With the technological marvels and capabiluties you've claimed to exist this should happened already - but it seems Moon Base Alpha is waiting for Google, Tesla and Panasonic to perfect robotics for them first.

It's down to you to provide some evidence (and no, YouTubes of people making the same kinds of assumptions isn't evidence). If part of you story relies on the claim that these things are impossible to verify because of a CONSPURIOUSY THEORY then we`ll be back to having a rational cause to disbelive unfalsifiable assertions.

It is straight out of a sci-fi novel.
