Vice President Mike Pence Wants To Land On The Moon Within 5 Years, LETS GOOO
Vice President Mike Pence is calling for landing astronauts on the moon within five years.
At a meeting of the National Space Council in Huntsville, Alabama, on Tuesday, Pence said NASA needs to achieve that goal “by any means necessary.” He says NASA rockets will be replaced by commercial rockets, if necessary, given this new sense of urgency.
This summer marks the 50th anniversary of the first manned moon landing. Pence says the first woman on the moon and the next man there will be U.S. astronauts launched by U.S. rockets from U.S. soil.
Pence leads the National Space Council. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine told the group that NASA will do everything possible to meet the deadline.
WE ARE GOING TO THE MOON!!! Hey JFK, tell me how our ass tastes!
JFK gave this speech in 1962. He wanted America on the Moon by the end of the decade and we did it. On the moon in 1969. And 50 years later Mike Pence says we can get there in 5 years, bitch. Talk about ambition! Talk about progress! America is better than ever.
Nostalgia is SO in right now. Netflix is bringing all the old shows back, A Star Is Born was remade, we hate Russians again, and Michael Jackson is in the news. What’s old is new again including #goals. Landing on the moon was so passe in the 90s. Now it’s vintage and I love it. I love where we can do competitions that we can win. The easiest race to win is the one to the moon because if someone else lands there first we can just say that we did that shit in 1969. If we get there by 2024 then guess what…we won. I am just surprised that Pence is the face of this program. He strikes me as a guy who wouldn’t want to go to Space because that’s where Jesus lives.
Another benefit of relaunching the space expedition to the moon…our rocket scientists are now 100% Nazi-free…probably. We talked a little about Operation Paperclip yesterday on Dogwalk. Give it a listen here
PS: I’m a big conspiracy theory guy, but for whatever reason I never believed in the fake moon landing theory. All of the objections can be explained away adequately for me. Also…I don’t really care if we didn’t land on the moon in 1969.
