Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the then-acknowlege-name-change-to-ix dept.

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."

    Why would Japan want to work with NASA? NASA has been proven to be a turd of an organization that isn't worth a damn. Remember the Columbia when it blew up? I remember that wonderful NASA event and I remember seeing one big flaming turd, the shuttle, and seven tiny flaming turds (the astronauts) raining down from the sky that day. It was even better knowing that one of those flaming turds was a kike. Fuck NASA, Japan doesn't need them to stand in the way.
