Nope, the Man in the moon is actually transgender................. How we know you may ask, we have now seen the back side of the moon.

That's easy and has been batted around for the last decade. They have plans to colonize the moon. Once they do so, they'll set up a manufacturing plant to build the next spacecraft. Getting raw materials to the moon would be costly and difficult but building on the moon might not cost more than building on earth and launching from the moon would both save money and fuel (that could be used to go farther in space). Great idea if they can make it work.
To build on the moon you need fuel. Solar works for power generation but not spacecraft that travel to other systems. Now if they discovered water on the moon.......

That's the 'plan' tho who and how are the questions, but these folks have their own ideas...
The 1st fully stacked starship prototype (SN8), now has it's nose cone attached down in extreme S. Texas. No word yet when the test flight will be.

Sounds a bit like the sells pitch for the California high speed rail

There's a company who's working on Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP). If they can make this work (and most scientists think it's just a matter of time), it may be a game changer for space travel. The uranium is enriched to somewhere between power generation and military specs meaning it's more powerful than the average nuclear power facility and it's "wrapped" in something that further protects it. (I don't remember the specifics. I'm not an scientist.) If we could transport that to the moon then build/launch a spacecraft from there, we could get to Mars in about 2 months. I think the only issue in getting this to the moon would be the ramifications of a rocket crash between launch and space.
I think we're teetering on the brink of manned space exploration.
It's only a message to Patrick, not Willie. Felonious editing. And for presenting a statement as new information when it was just what I'd already posted.
I don't know yet about the science news about the moon. I see the YouTube video that was just posted here, but I am going to look for a news report where I can read about it.
On the same YouTube page, in the sidebar, I saw this: "Parallel Worlds Probably Exist. Here’s Why"
quote
The most elegant interpretation of quantum mechanics is the universe is constantly splitting [creating parallel worlds.]

There's a version of me out there [in some parallel word] that understood the whole video.

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe: “Wow, 2020 has been a great year!”

I'm sure many here will remember this episode. I am not a "trekie", but the original TV show had a lot to say.

Diet Smith of Dick Tracy and Junior's soon-to-be- bride.
I do remember the girl with the antennas from the Dick Tracy comic strip (which isn't bad considering I had just turned eight years old when Moon Maid appeared in late '63), but I can't say I remember Diet Smith. lol What a name!

I did not know that.
