Canadian Boots on the Moon?

[dewline]

Been meaning to get back to this subject for a few days.

I might suggest that if the USA gets those Trumpist tariffs out of the way, we might be able to do more and more useful things towards that lunar goal and others relating to space exploration in general.

Whether or not lunar communities of any sort are actually useful...well, that's another debate that's been going on for a few decades, right? It might be better to set up a new major telescope on the Moon than on disputed soil in Hawai'i. No?

Forget Hawaii, go for Chile. LOTS of telescopes down there, the entire country embraces science and particularly astronomy, and there's no expectation (IMO) that the USA is going to become less insane in the foreseeable future.
