Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030
Aglassis writes "The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced at a conference that they are planning to build a Moonbase by 2030. Since JAXA doesn't currently have a 100 ton-class heavy lift rocket or a human transportation system perhaps now is a good time for JAXA to join in with NASA on the Project Constellation rocket program."
Under the plan, astronauts will be sent to the Moon around 2020 to start construction of the base that will be completed by 2030
This reminds me of the timeframes set out by the state construction workers on our highways.
No, it will just start a new batch of allegations that the Japanese are faking their moon landings and subsequent moonbase construction...
This guy's the limit!
"This reminds me of the timeframes set out by the state construction workers on our highways."
However, due to stark environmental realities, the sympathy strike by the oxygen-delivery union will have fatal consequences on the moon construction workers' picket line.
Where were you when the voynix came?
I hope they televise the progress.
In any case, 24 years seems quite a lot to me, considering that all the technology needed to accomplish this is available.
This is because Jack Bauer is involved in the project.
The following takes place between 2012 and 2013.
I heard pixar got the contract to create the moon base...

Just to prove my infinite superiority, here are the lyrics:
We're whalers on the moon.
we carry a harpoon.
but there ain't no whales,
so we tell tall tales,
and sing our whalin' tune.

Of course it will...with less gravity on the moon, you'll easily be able to dodge that big chunk of concrete coming down at you....
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
