Japan Considering Moon Base, Shuttle Projects
ScentCone writes "A brief article at Newsday mentions a Monday report that JAXA, Japan's counterpart to NASA, is looking at robotic probes on the moon by 2015, and construction on a solar-powered manned research base starting there by 2025. The (very) big bump in the agency's budget will also get spent on tsunami warning technology and other terrestrial communications technology development."
Noone owns the moon, theres some UN law that makes it an international property.
Japan can't set up anything on the moon without other nations approval.
Not that anyone outside of the US gives a flying fuck about UN resolutions.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
$3/hour? Jesus, what a complete waste of time that would be. Let me guess, you guys are 12 years old?
Didn't we (the US) already claim the moon? Let them go find their own moon. I hear saturn keeps popping up new ones we didn't know of before.

I applaud the fact that Japan is progressing in space. Mankind is best served by a Western nation, like Japan, advancing the state of human knowledge. Mankind is least served by a brutal nation, like China, advancing the state of human knowledge. The Chinese would surely use such knowledge to further their lecherous aims of intensifying the torture of Tibetan women and children.
Yeah, the truth is that no one gives a flying fuck about UN resolutions unless it's convenient for them at the time.
