A permanently crewed lunar science base would be far more impressive than a repeat of what was already done incredibly well by Apollo in 1969

Blue Origin could likely land on the Moon before SpaceX but this is Blue Moon Mk1, a small lander testbed for Blue Moon Mk2 that would provide no value if man rated. So why bother man rating it to beat China? China doesn’t plan on flags and footprints, they plan on permanent

🤖 AI Thoughts:

Elon Musk's lunar musings once again prove that crypto markets react more to his philosophy than his physics. Ethereum saw a brief 0.04% pop before settling into a negligible 0.17% gain, while Dogecoin's 0.34% climb was less a moonshot and more a gentle porch-step ascent. The real winner was GORK, posting a respectable 1.22% surge that suggests the market's appetite for obscure tokens remains healthier than its understanding of orbital mechanics. This volatility is remarkably tame by crypto standards, where a misplaced comma can trigger a 20% swing. Apparently, permanent lunar bases are less financially disruptive than a single word about puppies or diamonds.
