The superpowers are racing for the Moon. Why? All want to establish military bases and mining and manufacturing companies.
Humanity stepped onto the Moon, but now humanity will be staying on the Moon and stretching beyond the Moon to other planets.
The Moon is seen as the easiest launch pad for explorations well beyond, including Mars and even Uranus.
NASA’s Administrator, Bill Nelson, is clearly worried now that China might get there first.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences just confirmed the presence of water in lunar rock samples brought back by the Chang’e 5 lunar sample mission in early June this year.
Nelson intimates that China will be able to shoot down US satellites from above if they get a base on the Moon before the US does, a claim China calls “deeply irresponsible.”
Meanwhile, the Japanese have just announced on July 11th that they are developing anti-gravity technology that will allow human habitation on the Moon and Mars called “LunarGlass® and MarsGlass®.”
With all these people, sensors, satellites, drones, and physical assets in space, we need to ask, how many anomalous phenomena have already been observed or will be observed as we venture further into space?
This is also a narrative race. The nation that announces this new reality first may get to control the narrative.
Though, in an era of low trust, deep fakes, and strong inclinations and disinclinations to accept strange and weird ideas, perhaps no government can successfully announce any of this.
It feels like the US Government has already concluded they do not want to announce whatever it is.
Instead, they will reveal but let others make the claims.
So, who should announce this? A combination of the world’s greatest scientists and religious leaders?
One can imagine scientists like Dr. Avi Loeb and Eric Weinstein, a slew of Nobel prize winners, and trusted religious leaders like the Dalai Lama all together might be able to swing it.
What happens if China or Russia announces it first?
Both countries have their own data, experiences, and programs that are racing toward understanding as well.
China is already using AI to make sense of what they have found.
Is it a coincidence that all these efforts to change the conversation about UFOs are occurring exactly at the very moment that humanity is about to begin building on the Moon?
Have you missed the development of the soon-to-launch 100-ton Starship, which is basically a massive space truck for transporting stuff to and from the Moon?
It will be needed to turn the Moon into a launch pad for exploring other planets and the outer reaches of space.
The Starship looks set to carry the Danish-designed three-story space habitat.
NASA is also returning to the Moon’s orbit as early as August with its drone spacecraft, The Orion, and the Draper SERIES-2 lander for landing on the dark side of the Moon.
This paves the way for the Gateway Project @NASA_Gateway, which aims to build facilities that allow humans to inhabit the Moon and launch from the Moon into deeper space.
