k im like really high but are there more realistic ways of steering our history towards international cooperation to create a moon base with scientists from around the world, like a lunar ISS but that welcomes all nationalities. imagine the combined efforts of the american and chinese space administrations working together; scientists from japan to iran, india to south america, coordinating. i also think there should be more space laws, cuz our low earth orbit is getting trashed. maybe lasers could be used to form junkyard rings around our planet.

but i know that it’s inevitable that no matter what laws there are, tourist traps and a mall will be built by neil armstrong’s footprints. but i want that future where people can get an overpriced t-shirt saying something corny like “The Eagle Has Landed” with a greenscreened photo of themselves standing beside the lunar module.

anyways like, how would lyrics to a world peace song go?

    An Aussie rapper made a song about America’s real life plan for the moon…

    It’s kind of upbeat:

    Wake up, wake up, do you know where you are?

    1969, welcome to the future

    Tonight a rocket full of nukes and three heroic men

    Travel to the moon to blow it up just to prove we can

    Yeah, tonight we’re blowing up the moon

    Tonight we show the whole world just how smart we are

    Tonight we prove it doesn’t matter how fast you run

    In the arms race when you’re the one that’s holding on that starter gun (bam!)
