Trump signed a directive to return men to the moon, which i found funny because the Apollo mission was used as a distraction from the Vietnam war.
Anyway, from its inception, the (main) purpose of space program was to militarize space so i found it interesting that Trump said it out loud (military application).
"...Cook’s own observations since leaving NASA have led him to conclude that the space militarization agenda has continued on to the
present day. The agenda saw a temporary setback during the Clinton Administration when use of the Shuttle for military missions was discontinued. But the George W. Administration saw the return of militarization efforts. This time, according to Cook, the effort is being carried out under the pretext of colonizing the moon (ibid). “They say it’s to prepare for a Mars mission,” said Cook.“But I have spoken to someone who has worked
in NASA and who is very
cognizant of what’s really going on. The real, underlying purposes of the
current program to colonize the moon is a military mission."
Since the political establishment is pretty cosy with certain religious factions, and given the times, should 'fire fall from the sky in full view of all men', the televangelist should be treated with a degree of skepticism.
