WTAF?!
They want to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon now. It's Sean Duffy's first big move at NASA.
“It is about winning the second space race,” said a NASA senior official, granted anonymity to discuss the documents ahead of their wider release.
This is the first major agency effort by the interim NASA administrator, who is also the Transportation secretary and a former Fox News host.
We are living in Idiocracy run by a kakistocracy. #StopTheCoup
Let’s first see if we can launch a rocket that doesn’t explode and then maybe if we can even land on the Moon again after 50 years.
Wait until Trump demands it must be a coal fired power station…
I studied nuclear engineering in college. This make almost no sense to me. I'm sure it's meant to be a distraction from EPSTEIN!
And the power it is intended to produce will go where, precisely?
Never mind health care, never mind cancer research, never mind education, never mind the well-being of the population, never mind people living below the poverty line: this is what taxpayer's dollars should be spent on 🙄.
Easily translated to 'Another complicated grift that will be difficult to identify the routes taken to launder billions of dollars.'
If i have to pay one more red cent towards these people's stupid fucking ideas I'm going to blow something up.
90yo granny with dementia has gotta get a job bc these assholes will have work requirements for Medicare, but the MOON GETS A FUCKING NUCLEAR REACTOR?!!?!?! We need healthcare!!!! What is wrong with these people!?!?!!?
Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, roads and bridges are crumbling before our very eyes, all across the country. But sure, do drone on about building on the moon.
I'm sure that will make us great again. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
This is hilarious--TRUMP'S GOING TO BUILD A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ON THE MOON AT TAX PAYMENTS EXPENSE AND USE IT TO MINE CRYPTO. Mark my words.
They are insane.
Literally insane.
Trump not content with just 🍆-ing up planet 🌎?
Master Distracter
what would that be, like, for?
Follow the money to the crime they're committing.
I did not have Trump Blows Up Moon on my bingo card.
What. They arent laundering enough taxpayer money so they have to bring up turning the moon to cheese again at our expense.
This I have got to see!!
One physics class, one chemistry class, one debate class, one civics class, world geography, world history, US history, astronomy, and more chances to master a second language. There, Mr Duffy. Do those, then let’s chat. We are completely broken.
First of all, how are they going to get it there when Musk's rockets keep blowing up?
Secondly...
This jackass was probably one of the people who had issues with lights on the football field in our town, but is ok with a power plant on the moon?
i nominate musk and bezos to be first on those ships! one way tickets, of course
ahem, thats former FoxNews host, lobbyist, prosecutor, lumberjack, character on MTV reality shows 'The Real World: Boston' & 'Road Rules: All Stars' & current Transportation Sec'y & interim NASA administrator, Sean Duffy, to you
I think they want you to stop asking for the release of the Epstein material
The 🍊🥴 administration
👀
It looks like the Fission Surface Power Project started under Biden. You know these folks can’t come up with any original.
terraforming on LV-426 worked out nicely, what could possibly go wrong on the moon?
There are double digit cancellations at airports everyday but this idiot wants to blow up the moon. Got it.
Which launcher is being proposed. SLS, Starship, New Glen?
I’m really not all that interested in what NASA has in mind for Mars while this country’s democracy is unraveling.
Remember a month ago when we were going to revitalize the American merchant marine? How’s that going?
Accidentally blowing up the moon would be very bad
Can anybody explain to Sean what would happen to the Earth if we blew up the moon? Anybody?
Everything is war. Planning for war. Preparations for war
What could possibly go wrong!
If this idiot is going to apply his feckless skills to this venture, like he did for the FAA, we’re done for.
😔
I think I saw this movie www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py_I...
YouTube video by energiaproductions
What the what now? Hahhahaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
Is Mexico going to pay for it?
There aren't enough "Sure, Jans" stockpiled in the Internet memes warehouse to respond to that. Quote: @mrsbettybowers
He can’t even manage the airways in the United States. How is he going to put anything on the moon that works. He’s a loser
No one lives there to work on it. No ine lives there to use the energy it makes. No one makes batteries that are charged by nuclear reactors. No one has an extension cord to the moon
Sounds legit 😜🤣 Wasn’t Duffy on a reality tv show, or some stupid shit like that? He seems super qualified to be making decisions about nuclear reactors on Mars. 🙄
I can’t wait to see Elmo’s rockets disassembling unscheduled carrying nuclear reactors...
It could power a cell network with a microwave tower pointing back to earth. So astronauts can use their phones.
No chance a starship would explode over Texas releasing enriched uranium.
This guy can't even keep planes in the air
Hmm...seems like that reactor would need people to build, then operate it. Plus once it's running, what is it going to provide power to? Then there are transmission, distribution lines, etc. Assuming it's done, where does the "winning" come into play?
"Duffy also offered a directive to more quickly replace the International Space Station, another NASA goal. The two moves could help accelerate U.S. efforts to reach the moon and Mars — a goal that China is also pursuing."
This is the first major agency effort by the interim NASA administrator, who is also the Transportation secretary and a former Fox News host.
I actually don't have a problem with this. A reactor on the moon is going to be necessary sooner or later. Broken clocks and all.
What about the cheese, Gromit?
Hah! The Trump people can't even build a wall on the Rio Grande.
Omfg
Did they not watch season 2 of For All Mankind? Bad idea. Also maybe not jump the gun given how we haven't set foot on it in over 50 years and gutted NASA.
These people are cartoon characters.
Who the hell are these people? Why in the universe would we do that? Begging for a nuclear universe meld down?
What the hell for???? Powering Tesla charging stations??
it’s another distraction, but sadly it’s working for most people. i can’t remember the day on which America declared the moon American territory.
In six months, Trump will point to a full moon and claim he lit it with nuclear power and MAGAbillies will believe him.
😡🤬
It’s like a scene out of the tv show “for all mankind”.
That’s hilariously ridiculous. WTF dumb ass. Almost as good as A-One steak sauce in every classroom!
The second space race must be "the race to see who gives billionaires the most money for useless bullshit" because there's no other reason to do this
Well, if anyone can do it, it’s Sean Duffy
How about some healthcare right here on Earth? I don’t really need a nuclear reactor on the moon.
I just don’t believe anything he squeaks.
He better make it a liquid sodium metal reactor ...
Duffy just might want to send a water-cooled reactor to the moon
Build one under the new ballroom and let all these assholes radiate themselves to death as they toast dear leader.
Can they move #Pedo-dents new ballroom there while they're at it?
JFC. We’re doomed. The only real skills the man has is as a lumberjack.
How many people does it typically require to operate and maintain a nuclear power plant? 800.
How many people does it typically take to operate and maintain a solar power farm? 3.
Good plan, there, Duffy.
There is a science fiction show on Apple about this. It was a what if we had kept going to the moon show but part of the crisis on the Moon was about nuclear power going wrong on the Moon. Surely MAGA knows not to put the nuclear power in same place as the astronauts surely.
So we'll soon be living the plot of Moonfall - a mysterious force causes the moon to be ejected from its orbit and head towards Earth, forcing a team to try and save the planet,
Isn’t this the plot to the series “To All Mankind?” It’s weirdly familiar.
Party like it’s 1999, I guess.
Sean Duffy [of mtv reality show "fame"]: "Reality, how does it work?"
Good luck with that dream, Duffy. The last time men walked on the moon was 1972. What has changed so remarkably in the last 53 years that makes you think you can pull this off? Elon Musk & SpaceX?
To power... what, exactly?
I don't think this moron knows that they're used for generating electricity.
How about we fix ATC here on Earth first.....
Need to take all sharp or explosive things away from those idiots.
Epstein files
20th Century USA was a powerhouse of science and engineering. It’s tragic that this clown can spout this untethered nonsense in 2025. What he’s asking isn’t impossible, given an abundance of funding for a decade or more of design and testing — as of today, this reactor doesn’t exist.
Will the build it near the Sea of Tranquility? 🤔🤭
huh, um okay....
Now release the Epstein Files‼️
They should watch Space 1999 to see how that would turn out. Besides, the moon has Helium3, a powerful power source.
Epstein files please !!!!!!
Take action against Russia to stop the war with Ukraine !!!!!
Stop supporting Netanyahu indiscriminately killing civilians in Gaza !!!!!
Stop increasing the cost of living !!!!
Russia should go to the moon first and put up a big f..king wind turbine just for Trump and call it the Village Idiots fan.
Now, Epstein files please!!!!!!
More stupid distraction. Epstein
Meanwhile they’ve cut like 4000? employees ? Great way to win!
But…never mind…
Are your referring to The America Moon or just the old regular Moon? These people are beyond nuts. If Dems are smart they will run with this as a talking point "No medical insurance, reductions in Social Security BUT they are going to spend trillions to build a nuke plant on the moon".
Science says: 💭
