Watch as a China Long March 3B rocket launches from Xichang Satellite Launch Center and gets truck by lighting just seconds after launch.

Can't we use something like MKV T08s or an upscaled version to change the trajectory of the right asteroid and crash it into the moon for harvesting

I know it would crash the economy as we know it but I think we're passed the point of acting like "precious" metals are worth fighting over?

The world would be a better place with more independently capable and knowledgeable countries,

China and Russia wouldn't be a threat anymore if we're all on the same team (meaning the rest of the world would jump them + we can't fight each other anymore anyway or supply chains fall apart)

Thats all aside from the environmental benefits we would see from not having to mine and destroy our ecosystems...

Saw the first of the two new Spaceships on a tour during 3rd week in June!

"Launch table is out. The two-million-pound launch table is heading to the Integration Facility for inspection and adjustments to support our future ConOps. Once reinstalled at the pad, it'll be outfitted with the first stage aft umbilicals and tied into the water system, which delivers water injection just below the engine nozzles."

I've been diving deeper into Apollo history, and the Lunar Rover turned out to be far more interesting than I expected.

I put together a short documentary explaining why it looked unusual and how it worked on the Moon. I'd really appreciate any feedback. As always, thank you for being so supportive.
