I guess solar powered since there are all those stars or cosmic wind power. Can’t have all that potential radiation getting into the pristine universe. Might contaminate the infinite amount of energy, radiation and whatever else.
Just stay here on earf, get 0-care, pay taxes, work to support parasites and enjoy the road to marxist utopia instead.
Roundup all Muslims and send them to the moon to colonize it. Then send the majority of blacks who vote for Democrat slavery to the moon to get a taste of REAL slavery from their Arab masters.
Sheila Jackson Lee can finally get that flag!
Old joke:
And aide bursts into the Oval Office saying, “Mr. President, I have good news and bad news.”
“What’s the bad news?”, asks the president.
“The Chinese have landed on the Moon.”
“Oh,” the president says. “And what’s the good news?”
“All of them!”
No doubt the Russkies are all over this.
I’m not surprised that we haven’t heard about their moonbase yet.
Our media wouldn’t report it.
I mean, come on, our astronauts have to hitchhike on their rockets while NASA screws around with Muslim outreach and global warming.
When the Russkies do announce it, Putin is going to raise that flag and say that the Moon is now a Russkie satellite.
Lavender space capsules?
the cost ............ could be reduced by a factor of 10 using a number of techniques – and it could also have implications for getting humans to Mars.
I’ve heard otherwise credible people tell me that we landed there in 1965 and that we’ve had a base there all this time.
Well, I wouldn't be surprised if Obama and his Democrats insist that there be homo sex on the moon. A lunar bath house for Barry to visit.

Or a choom room with a gnatty, jizz stained couch he can hug a hairy persian on.
The Jersey project ala Clive Cussler.
How could they find time for this with all of there global warming studies?
There have been hundreds of nuclear powered satellites launched into orbit. It is not a big deal.
Groove Tube 1973
Once upon a time, we actually expected to get there. Now it’s a distant dream, even at a tenth of the expected price.
...
We got Big Government instead.
Sigh. I guess the /sarc tag is a requirement.
“‘International Lunar Authority’.
Mmmm...sounds Orwellian, or Brave New World, or 1984ish to me.
Certainly not something we should be subject to.”
I’m inclined to agree, but I’d rather see anything than the Chinese grabbing the best (South Pole) lunar real estate for its colony. That’s the current plan according to them.
The US needs to pull its head out of Mars (heh) and wake up to the fact that the Moon is a far more realistic and achievable destination, and is pretty much as habitable as Mars. It has a tremendous amount of upside both as an industrial base, and as a “natural spaceport” opening up the rest of the Solar System.
It’s also something of a strategic asset militarily...
