When are you guys going to put that second amendment to good use
Omfg we're literally living in Star Wars! @markhamillofficial.bsky.social YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE, FLY BOY! 😭
Because there is such high demand for electricity on the moon?
Cant wait to see their Sharpie-drawn plans to run power cables to Mar a Lardo.
Lets be honest here: They can’t launch a spacex rocket without it blowing up. Call me un phased.
Good fucking luck! Just off the phone with a phd in theoretical physics. He says nuclear weapons will function on the moon. But the building of them might still be beyond us in that location. If it is doable it will be crazy difficult. Plus what would the point be? To distract from Epstein Files???
lol… this is the Fox News anchor, whose big claim to fame was…being on the real world, then pivoted into being a pro natalist tradcath weirdo?
Didn’t have lunar nuclear reactors on my Crazy Trump Shit bingo card, but here we are.
Anyone starting to feel like the whole initial premise at the beginning of Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy, the one where the Earth is going to be demolished to make way for a new intergalactic super highway, might be the next thing they use as and inspiration? Towels and 42, people!
😂 this will end badly. Can't even fly there regularly with starship after subsidy and they are admitting the government is broke.
surprised its not a coal powered power station. Got to think of the mining jobs on the moon.
It’s really about the whalers.
What?
Pride of Wisconsin
This is a plan that was fully hatched watching Michael bay’s “Armageddon”
What a clown he is.
I wouldn’t assign Sean Duffy the task of crossing the street to buy a loaf of bread……..
When all else fails THROW OUT SOME STOOPID DISTRACT DECEIVE DISTORT
When i first saw the original headline, I thought it was an onion article. What timeline are we existing in?
Send that moron there first to pick a good spot or let him climb there
Just another #knownothingwithnonothingplans
This is so fckng embarrassing for a place that calls itself the greatest country on earth
Lolololol USA dumber than a box of hair
How will they beam the energy over to us here on Earth? Will they build an artificial light that shoots it here and we’ll collect it with Lunar Panels?? Fucking idiots. The sun exists! But liberals believe in the sun, so can’t use that…
It worked for the Klingons, well, until Praxis exploded.
I hope he also establishes a residence there. 🌝
Omg they're gonna do it arent they?
This is the prelude to "SEVENEVES"
I guess the moon is only Americas moon
The moon will explode, the tide will disappear, all of earth will wither and die, and the world will be reborn. Ok - very long game plan it is, then.
Fell for it again, speaking of idiocy!
Total idiocy!
O.o but whhhhyyyy
What's the use if that? Are they going to build a giant cable to bring the energy to Earth or something?
This should go well.
Makes me think of the moon cracking apart scene from The Time Machine remake. youtu.be/AhTadcV0myo?...
"How can we spend ALL the money??"
He’s going personally to break ground I hope?
Impeach Guy “Whitey” Corngood
When I was a boy blowing up the moon was just a beautiful beautiful dream.
Now it’s science fact!
😂😂😂
We're Earthlings! Blow up Earth things!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Um... WHY?
Oh look! One of those intellectualz! We got here.
But the moon doesn’t belong to the US…
Uranium weighs less on the moon, so that’s a plus, but we’ll need a really long extension cord to tap that electricity. Staffing the power plant could be a challenge too, though nothing a millennia on LinkedIn couldn’t solve, so all in all.. hell yeah!
The clown car lets one out !
Sigh
Never a bad time for that reference. youtu.be/GTJ3LIA5LmA?...
Fly me to the moon Let me kick its fucking ass Let me show it what I learned in Moon ju-jitsu class
Beautiful, the meter and rhythm are *chef's kiss*
See, it's easy to just replace the monkey that asked the question you don't want
I miss that show so much! 😉😂🤣
This is no longer parody. It's a documentary.
It’s easy to say when you have OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY to pay for lunatic ambitions. Nobody is asking for a Nuclear Moon. It’s a strikingly wacked out idea.
We might have to accept extinction in order to save the globe from the ill & psychologically-infected. Maybe future pollywogs can try again.
Isn't the moon shrinking? Shouldn't they just try mining it for precious moon dust to fuel their butt rockets?
Did we learn nothing from "Space: 1999"?
we’re earthlings, let’s blow up earth things
🤦
Did they forget the moon has a "dark side"⁉️ 🌚🤩
Sorry little jimmy. No money for your cancer treatment. We gotta build a nuclear reactor on the moon to power nothing.
Trump needs it to power his giant "laser" that he's building on the moon. Turning it into what he calls a "death star".
If Duffy is going to accompany the crew then it would be worth it.
Doesn’t that fucker know what would happen to the earth if anything happened to the moon? www.rmg.co.uk/stories/spac... Too stupid to live.
I’ve seen this TV show. youtu.be/H6YJ5oIcT4g?...
So there'll be 10+ explodo-X launches (some flights lobbing fuel rods over the Earth) to build a reactor on the moon so there'll be a shit ton of wattage powering .... nothing?
I fully support every member of this administration going to the moon for a reconnaissance mission, on a rocket built and piloted by Musk.
"nuclear power is safe, there's so many things that have to go wrong for another Chernobyl to happen" Me: *looks at USA and laughs with dead eyes*
This is a siren call to everyone who still wastes time using separate jars of mayostard and mustmayonnaise
This is criminal.
I…don’t even know why I’m as shocked as I am. It’s just so stupid. The cost alone, the EXTREMELY limited personnel, are we going to microwave the energy back, a la the Chinese satellite thing? How can we protect it from micro meteorites? How do we protect it from other nations missions to the moon?
All these questions have been asked, repeatedly, at nasa over the past decades. And so many more. If this made ANY SENSE they would have done it. It’s utter nonsense
The more I watch this video, the more I understand the inherent insanity of America as a people. youtu.be/GTJ3LIA5LmA?...
Jesus fuck 🤦🏼♂️
Oh God.
EPSTEIN
i don't know man that sounds kinda cool
I mean, that isn't to dissimilar to my solution to all of the environmental damage that can and will be caused by AI data centers on earth. Just put them on the moon! It's fine!
No no, the supervillains are supposed to try to write their name on the moon with giant lasers.
Hey minster monkey, don’t be asking why, dont you know, you can’t mess, with American Pride!
I hope he isn’t relying on Elon’s Starship to get them there… 🚀 💥
Oh we building those space lasers? Where’s @altspaceforce.altgov.info when we need them?!
Oh, for crying out loud...🤦♂️
I mean, you need something to do.
*Piccolo likes this*
Duffy should be hiring more air traffic controllers & making the skies safe.
These people are so stupid.
da fuq. shouldnt he make sure our planes dont crash into helicopters
cc: Jake Thayne
Just wait until Duffy finds out the moon is made of cheese. Fondue for everyone!
How about refunding snap benefits first. I personally prefer to do the non-stupid stuff first.
Brilliant, clearly this foresaw the heinous machinations of Dr Eggman
Okay. 😂😂😂
Wasn't he Transportation Secretary last week?
Like Marco Rubio, he wears many hats.
Fuck the people trying to get enough housing and food, we're going to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon. One small step for man, and one giant fuck you to the people that will be required to pay for it.
Outrageous I agree. But there’s no way he can do this bc Congress just imposed a huge cut on NASA. It’s smaller than it’s been since 1961, the dawn of human spacecraft. So don’t worry about this. www.planetary.org/articles/nas...
Still not clear why a nuclear reactor is needed . . .
Nuclear reactions.
This sounds more like a laundromat for US taxpayer cash.
Can’t he just get power from that secret alien base on the dark side that Nancy Mace is always talking about between her other Earthly allegations?
I can't believe they don't want to put a tent detention center on the moon.
I think it would be great if aliens banned us from space travel.
Isn't he the guy who is afraid of New York subways?
Correct headline: MTV personality sucks up to Dear Leader with nonsensical plan. Lack of qualifications, education, seriousness for the role, and endless puckering are why.
Because it's not like the Earth needs the moon or anything 🙄😑
Oh, good - a new job for Homer Simpson!
What happens if there's a problem?
Duffy: "We heard what Americans are asking for, and decided their requests are gay - NUCLEAR WEREWOLVES AAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
NASA funding has been decimated, so how’s he going to get it up there?
I’m sure there’s a plan
Yup, to take all the money while achieving nothing
Your 401k money. You are not using it.
I checked my 401k last week. Ha! Jokes on them!
Massive contracts to space x duh
Okay but Space X blows up all its rockets so how’s it getting up there?
You're assuming it matters the contract is able to be reasonably fulfilled.
It will be in planning phase for 20yrs and hundreds of billions spent before a single object is shot into space. A great slush fund for Trump admin to parse out to those loyal enough.
Hah! Most government contracts are just a way to disappear money into billionaire pockets anyway. Like that golden dome that’s never going to be built.
We’re living in a sim… This can Not be real life
I don’t even think they have rockets to get to the moon anymore. This is just stupid.
Well, solar would also work, but I guess that’s not crazy enough. I’m sure Trump is happy windmills are out of the question.
Stupid
AI told me to kill myself 🤷
That will solve those pesky waves
Yeh, not like America, of all places, needs tides or, like, waves. I mean, Brian Wilson's gone now.
Estimated cost, 13.5 trillion dollars 💵 or so. That should cover the orange turd’s cut, and his buddies too.
Something serious needs to happen to him. Soon. His stupidity is dangerous.
Is it April 1st today?
like how much energy does it need to produce just to offset the cost and fuel-use of sending a shuttle to transport batteries from the moon
in a reactor, far far away.
"If there’s life on other planets, then the earth is the Universe’s insane asylum." ~ Voltaire
Honestly, if they're going to be evil, at least they're corrupt and stupid.
If no one was convinced before, they should finally acknowledge the administration has lost their minds.
OFHS Duffy can't even keep planes in the air here on Earth!
How cute!
What a fricking moron he is. There needs to be a constitutional amendment barring reality show participants from serving in public office.
but then, trump couldn’t be president!
Oh nooooo
Yes, let's mess with something that we have a strong gravitational relationship with that affects our tides and climate. Sounds like a brilliant fucking idea
The moon does not belong to the USA this is just too much. At least we know how incompetent they are they’ll never do it but won’t stop them from polluting space even more.
Space already has loads of radiation. Anything we send up would be piffling. There's massive radiation belts around Earth that Trump's devotees believe prevent us from getting to the Moon. We already have 2 or 3 RTGs roving around mars.
But why add to it especially when we are hopeless at correctly predicting risks and unintended consequences, maybe get the buses and trains to better run on time?
TBH, the most dangerous parts are getting nuclear fuel pellets or rods to the launch site, and the launch. Either could be disastrous on Earth. Once they're on the Moon? Meh.
These people have zero knowledge and zero curiosity but arrogance turned up to 11.
I uhhh ... have a few questions.
I really do hate how unintentionally funny these goddamn monsters can be.
Stupid.
Oh no
The moon is "woke". Hell yes it should be blown up! :-)
Did he check that out with Space Force?
Sean, they've had plans to do that before you were an itch in your daddy's pants. Go find something else to claim you've come up with the idea of doing.
….why?? Seriously though…for what purpose?
@frdan.bsky.social
The government who thinks climate change is a hoax, vaccines cause autism, democrats are using satellites to create tornadoes, math is woke, if you stop testing for Covid it disappears, they reduced the cost of meds by 1,500%, this government is building a nuclear reactor on the moon?
OMG why would we waste $ on this?
The same reason the US wasted money on going there in the first place. Ego.
🤡
Dreamworks’ live action Despicable Me
Does he know about the atmosphere on the moon? What a fucking imbecile.
Every day this administration finds a new way to kill us
That's nice, release the tapes.
Don’t be messin with god’s america
Did Jesus ever preach on Mons Agnes? Show me THAT bible entry
Guess he didn't watch "Space: 1999"
oh all that sweet dust just get it in my eyeballs
right in that nerve back there. aww yeah, jimmy did it
There is no more stupid person in public life than Sean Duffy.
The entire Trump administration would like a word.
I think it’s time for @theonion.com to close up shop. Can obviously no longer satire the real life idiocy
Decommission climate monitoring satellites that help farmers but build nuclear reactor on the moon. Perfectly logical.
youtube.com/shorts/HBXGS...
We're gonna need a bigger cheese board, it'll be raining cheese for years to come.
Great, a nuke built by some fukwit MAGA donor who worked in a grocery store produce dept. the prior week.
Pretty much. They want to fuck up the moon like they fucked up the earth.
Would you miss it? Would you miss it?
Heads up, satirists. These blowholes are literal. Literal, actual blowholes.
Mr. Show!
I want some of what he has been smoking...
Jeeeezus
Mind blown! They are devoid of humanity.
I mean is he gonna be in charge of the engineering and logistics of doing this? Get your popcorn. Musk will be at Mars before this could be done. Mars is 140,000,000 miles.. after his last launch he’s only 140,000,000 miles to go.👍
Have not heard a single word from him about roads or bridges. Nothing in awhile about air traffic controllers and now the completely unqualified X reality “Star” wants nuclear reactors on the moon. I bet he can’t say nuclear correctly. I guess a long extension cord to receive the electricity ⚡️
He did speak out recently to say he’s afraid to ride the subway 🤡
Yes forgot that. Deep breath. That piece of shit “ good people “ should not have have to sit next to people who stink and crazy people. The crazy people should be forced to go back to their insane asylum. Of course has not been any since the 70’s . There is not a fuck you big enough for this asshat
Duffy went outside the other night, and the moon just wasn't glowing enough.
Do it when it’s a full moon to make sure we get it all
That post will become a classic.
😂
This just gets more stupid every day. But, what did I expect? Common sense and compassion?
OFFS, did these people never watch Space:1999? do you know what happens when put nuclear stuff on the Moon?
Good to see such a good old show referenced
My first thought as well.
Fly like an Eagle, but don't land like one.
Blow a few chunks off, what could go wrong? On the other hand, if one of the chunks hit the White House 🤔
Gravity??? Gravity could go horribly wrong. So could the ocean.
Pesky gravity. Trump should have it investigated
He can’t unless he funds the sciences.
Sure he can. You don’t need science in a courtroom
How do you get gravity in a court room??? Invite a cat to knock something off the Judge’s podium???
You’ll need ceiling cat and basement cat, some plants, couple of lasers, def a few glasses of water near the edge of a table… Ok what did I miss?
I can haz cheeseburger??? You missed cheeseburger.
Oooooo def cheezburger.
"On the other hand, if one of the chunks hit the White House"
I laughed harder than I should have at this. Thanks for making my day!!
We can't seem to find enough people to properly staff the FAA but yeah, let's trust the TV show contestant who has overseen a large amount of air disasters with NASA and lunar nuclear power construction.
Also Duffy
Sean Duffy couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag with an exit sign marking the opening
Has to be blowed up real good.
About time! The Moon is not the Earth folks! It's not rocket science!
We'll become a multi-planet ruining race I'm sure. (Yea, the Moon's not a planet, bite me)
What are we going to do with the electricity in 20 years when the plant is completed?
Your references are always sick as hell brother. Real voice of a generation type shit.
We're earthlings, let's blow up Earth things!
What is the reactor supposed to do on the moon?
Wait wait… BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I love that show! I even remember that specific episode!
Do we not have bigger priorities?
So, everyone dives on me when I say I have doubts about the moon landing, because politicians fucking lie, and they LIE BIG. This is only helping my case.
I honestly love guys like this. Oh, you’re like an actual “dumb” dumb guy. Remember when these guys were upset that commercial airliners were wasting time by not flying ‘straight’ between two destinations on the globe?
I would watch a Real World Road Rules Challenge if we sent them to the moon, not gonna lie. Return trip optional. Who cares.
Mars. But they have to all be launched in a Tesla Roadster sans spacesuit.
Because this is the first step to mining the moon - powerful energy source. How about we not fuck with the only thing not on the planet that is literally crucial to our immediate survival?
Yes, we will/did that in 1999 when the nuclear waste stockpiles detonated. And don't forget about the comet that shattered the moon that same year. [Space:1999; Thundar the Barbarian]
