Yea, this is what we should be spending money on right now.

[BenLurkin]

It’s got to be the Babylon Bee.

[Twotone]

I thought exactly that. Or “is it April Fools Day?”

[RedMonqey]

How much is kicked back to “The Big Guy” and the Clinton Foundation?

[Red Badger]

Same people who are building the California Bullet Train?..................

[ProtectOurFreedom]

When is Obama going to chime in about the “Interplanetary Railroad”?

[EEGator]

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress…

[ComputerGuy]

Another bullet train to nowhere. But very fast.

[MeganC]

“Same people who are building the California Bullet Train?”

No. The railroad that’ll be built on the friggin’ Moon will be up and running long before California High Speed Rail ever carries anyone from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

I’m 33 and I doubt that CAHSR will be completed in my lifetime.

The Lunar Dust is amazing it gets everywhere

[BipolarBob]

Don’t be harshing my buzz here. I’m putting in to be a conductor on that lunar railroad. I’d settle for the caboose job but only because I could walk around and fraternize with the passengers.

[packagingguy]

You beat me to it.

[Gaffer]

Over its history, ARPA became DARPA and then quickly transitioned into a purely political dole-out program for whacky leftist ideas (e.g., the DARPA head job is a political patronage position.) There are/have been good things to come out of DARPA that benefit us, but there are more whacky nothing-comes-of-it programs.

[hal ogen]

I suggest we spend taxpayers’ monies on building nitwit biden’s train across the Pacific first. Can these fools think of even more ignorant ways to waste OtherPeoplesMoney???

[PGR88]

We will import Lunar Chinese to build this Lunar railroad like the last time we were on a rail-building spree?

[wally_bert]

Don’t store nuclear waste on the moon either.

[EEGator]

Didn’t Barak take Muhammad to the Moon?

[Red Badger]

The Trans-Continental Railroad, built between 1863 and 1869, was a similar ‘boondoggle’........................

[ssfromla]

Keep looking to get out of here and not at what is presently going to hell in your lives now. Great job big government.

Can yall build a train to take all politicians on a one way trip? We really don't care where.

[Omnivore-Dan]

Now, how can we afford this when our fearless leader says: “We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean”. Pretty ambitious if you ask me.
