We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

They can't even take a strait, or maintain equipment, and have issues with feeding their people. So yes, the us should totally try to "take" over the moon.

Invading an undefended unpopulated rock might just be achievable by the current US military. Although I have some doubt that anyone in the current US administration knows about the lack of oxygen.

I'm not sure if the Us military could send a person 1000 km into space: and that might be a good thing.

Does he have to stay alive? Or in one piece?

Please don't tell them, in fact maybe tell them that moon rocks can be eaten and that they hate trump.

I mean, it’s all made of cheese anyway. Just send them up with a bunch of Lactaid.

They might even lack the understanding of what oxygen is. And might deter it since I've heard that the LGBTQ community uses it. Also furries.
