Don’t you mean “Orbital America” 😜
yes he is a total braindead moron incapable of salient thought
New Jerseys is now New America. Moon is now Moonmerica. This really is representative of why the rest of us mock america for being so fucking stupid.
Uh, anyone with a modicum of sense has known this for YEARS. Please try to keep up.
Yeah, we put a flag there and everything. Come on people!
Don’t you mean “Moon America”?
Man, how disrespectful of you. Use its real name.
I thought this was a meme.
Edit: I’m pretty sure this breaks several treaties the US made with other gov
it’s not like he cares much about treaties that the us signed
Will Trump make an executive order claiming that the Moon is America’s?
He claimed ownership of Venezuelan oil, Greenland, Canada and whatever he whims, so…
It’s not too bad as he isn’t saying the moon is a projection or that the earth is flat, like many of his followers. But the fact there is something seriously wrong is what we all know since he first ran for president, or even before that. Nothing has changed ever since. The guy is deranged. He’s like Hitler, while missing a few chromosomes.
Comparing Trump to Hitler is a disparage to Hitler
Don’t forget, Hitler didn’t chicken out of serving his country in an actual war.
Onlookers fear ‘something very wrong’ with Trump as he claims US ownership of the moon - Raw Story
Hitler essentially had 10s of millions murdered.
Currently Trump is responsible for roughly 1 million deaths this year alone by just cutting USAID. Next to that they have been murdering fishermen in the Caribbean, bombed Iran and 6 other countries and increased poverty in the US and made health care in the US out of reach for more of its inhabitants, as well as medication. Next to that regulations for food safely and pollution have been loosened, which will have a negative impact on health. This will result in many national deaths over the coming years. Then there is the thing with vaccines, reduced funding for the CDC and other vital departments responsible for preventing disease outbreak.
The estimates for the amount of deaths from cutting USAID for over 10 years are between 10 and 15 million, with more casualties in the years after, so Trump is on a path of surpassing Hitler when it comes to death count based on this alone. Oh and don’t forget how he supplies and supports Israel in the genocide of Palestine, and the other illegal wars Israel is currently involved in.
Oh and don’t forget the concentration camps from ICE, in El Salvador and African countries where a mysterious amount of people are secretly dying.
We still have two years for this one to live up to his full potential.
“It’s a simple question, Doctor. Would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?”
They can’t even take a strait, or maintain equipment, and have issues with feeding their people. So yes, the us should totally try to “take” over the moon.
Hard to tell if this is parody or not.
Is there a source other than rawstory? They tend to churn out made up copium.
You think?
He’s clearly lost the plot and is unfit to govern.
His cronies will try to keep him in power as long as possible, so that their schemes keep getting greenlit. Also, they have stupid fucking Vance prepped up.
I wonder if Trump will run in the 2028 primaries.
I wonder what would have happened if this imbecilic self-indulgence had come after China had successfully launched Chang’e 7. And by “wonder” I mean “dread”.
Chang’e 7, whose launch has been delayed, is a highly ambitious and comprehensive (uncrewed) lunar mission incorporating four separate vehicles into a single launch and mission: orbiter, fixed lander, rover, and - an innovative “hopper”, which has been previously implemented (by Japan) for landing on a small asteroid, but never a world as large as Luna, or as difficult to navigate.
This is definitely one of the most ambitious space probes ever to be assembled. One might even say the most ambitious, when you consider that the landing site is remarkably close to the South Pole - not the easier or safest region to visit, let alone properly explore. If this mission were going beyond Luna, I’d probably rank it in the same league as Viking or Cassini-Huygens - and in fact, depending on its longevity and science return, I ultimately might have to anyway.
Some have gone so far as to say that this mission represents the point where China’s spaceflight abilities are challenging, or even exceeding, the USA’s. I’ll leave that debate to the side here while noting that the science return from Chang’e 7 looks to be phenomenal and possibly groundbreaking, if they can pull this off. This isn’t a “flags and footprints” or purely nationalistic mission; China’s already done those. From the science standpoint, this looks like the real thing.
Those who consider Lunar science a dead and settled issue have some shocks coming, both geopolitically - because of the potential for exploitation of Lunar resources and development of military applications) - and scientifically. The equatorial and mid-lat regions of Earth’s Moon are not well-explored, despite what people think, with information about the origin and evolution of planets in general. And that’s before you consider that the Lunar South Pole could be a repository for comet and asteroid debris that is second to none. Explore that properly, return those samples to your labs, and you could be gathering data on the ultimate development of the atmosphere and biology on Earth.
Wtf is this chinese propaganda? Sounds like a midnight tv product sales pitch.
In this context, a pronouncement like this from the “leader”, or even the dementia-riddled tribal figurehead, of the US could be disastrous. Regardless of his proclivity to write his name in water, or the general understanding that we’re dealing with someone who was always emotionally and intellectually stunted, the world could watch as China starts to unlock the deeper potential of space science, while the USA grows aggressive and grasping in a domain where there are as yet no people, and no rules. Even with Trump gone, what do you suppose a President Hegseth or Vance would do in cislunar space? “Claiming” Luna isn’t feasible, unless you try to shoot down any craft landing there, but what about the Lagrange 2 point or the geosynchronous belt above Earth?
When you consider how Musk, Bezos and the FCC cabal have effectively been squatting in Low Earth Orbit with Starlink and other satellite constellations - to the point of crowding out other users - I wouldn’t put any of this past the post-Trump USA.
To your point, creating a Kessler Syndrome event would effectively keep any other nations from even attempting much in the way of space exploration for a few centuries. It seems that Musk and Bezos are trying to create one.
