    Which part of this is not-the-onion-y? Building stuff on the moon might give us a good jumping off point for solar system exploration, and having a power source there would help construction. Is it that it’s Russia and China doing it?

      I mean…

      If I were writing a fictional story about world domination by ruthless politicking, overthrowing foreign governments, and assassinating key opposition figures around the globe without an effective concern for local populations, it would be about the US.

      But if I were writing one where the first step to world domination was an advanced moon base… pretty much gonna be Russia or China.
