I like moonbases. But why?

No sunlight for half a month.

Also greatest album of all times.

Do they have a plan not to have a million dead by COVID this year?

You were agitating for a hot war not 20 minutes earlier (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34249941), so the more dead Chinese the better, right?

I'm saying fewer people will die in the long run if we rip off the band-aid. Obviously I want to save as many lives as possible.

I don't know where these journalists get their info, either incorrect translation or some non-official quotes

The official line was always to send people to the moon by 2030
