Who gets to the moon first?

[exitseven]

I hope it is Jeff Bezos. I would love to see the first rocket to the moon to be a giant penis.

Elon Musk

Jeff Bezos

[AviatorTom]

It's most likely gonna be this guy...

Zhang Kejian, Director of the China National Space Administration

FYI, Blue Origin's rocket that would go to the moon looks like this...

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket

... not the penis-shaped New Shepard

[exitseven]

truly diappointing.

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven I'm all in favor of reducing waste, eliminating fraud and improving efficiency in government, but that's what happens when NASA's budget is destroyed. 😫

[AngryCarl2]

It's a trick question. The answer is Neil Armstrong.

[exitseven]

DING-DING-DING

[AngryCarl2]

Thanks for MHO!

[katiesmuff]

Maybe they could go together and never return and their fortunes spread across America much like the money distributed during covid!

[purplepoppy]

I hope Musk gets there first. And hopefully he stays there.

[RedTiefling]

He'll be fine, he can live in that car he shot into space

[Chazmatazz269]

🤣🤣🤣

[hafinjun]

Ok id vote for him with that stipulation

[NathanDavis]

if they actually make it one day... it might be Bezos

making it to the moon again is stupidly expensive, and there is not really that much of a benefit to make it there again, it will not pay off, there's no proof to it

Elon Musk is full of fake money (net value) that nobody is really willing to actually spend... Bezos has a lot of fake money as well, but he's got more access to actual resources so, the only "realistic" chance is for them to be able to use and monetize any technology that is developed around such projects but they would benefit more from other different ventures

other than that... I think Bezos should paint those tankers in color Blue, Blue Fuel Balls

[RandomGirl42]

Whoever gets there first will get some good sales!

[FunkyMonkee]

We did!! About 55 years ago!!
By the time that gets to the moon, only the head of the dick will be there. Most likely, it'll just be whatever's inside the head, not the full head, itself.

[msc545]

I don't think anybody except maybe these two guys really gives a shit.

[exitseven]

I am pretty excited about going to Mars.

[msc545]

We've already been to the moon, and it wasn't particularly exciting. Maybe Mars will be better; I sure hope so.

[strateguy632]

Like amazon delivery to moon, double meaning.

[FreyaRed]

Meanwhile i think it's Jeff.
After Elon sided with Yellow Monkey and performed "Reichsgruß" in the public, i thought he doesn't have mental capacity to bring humanity to moon and to mars.

And an old song comes to mind:

Follow up: There was an interesting, if wishful thinking, book on this, written back in 1970, "Where the Winds Sleep: Man's Future on the Moon: A Projected History", written by the late science writer Neil P. Ruzic, with assistance by none other than the late Wernher Von Braun of the USA space program fame:

www.amazon.com/.../ref=sr_1_3

Besides ideas like mining, low gravity and vacuum manufacturing, the authors saw the potential in Lunar settlements for frail but affluent elderly people with brittle bones and weaker hearts, where the lower gravity would allow the aging process to be slowed, and perhaps even reversed in some ways. Of course, once the senior citizen colonists got used to the lower gravity, they could never return to Earth as it would kill them right then and there, but hey, going to the Moon to die might be that final adventure and more exciting than going to Boca Raton or Palm Springs to die.

Needless to say, their projected "future history" *didn't* happen as the authors had hoped, but hey, after 50 years, maybe it is coming to fruition now?

[DryGermanGuy]

Explain to me why there is a need to go back to the moon, anyway? Did we forget to clean up after the last visit or something? 🤔

[Kelly6]

Exactly my thought

[sage2021]

I am curious why we haven't been to the moon since the 60's and now they want to go again.🤷🏼‍♀️

[sage2021]

I said Elon Musk

[exitseven]

We have the technology to make money from going to the moon now.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Another question that should be asked, is it even possible to go to the moon?

[RedTiefling]

Niether, I'd prefer they stop testing rockets over people's houses.

[DrPepper12]

The Chinese will have the first permanent base. Count on it.

[exitseven]

The problem with a rocket built in China is that on one of the fins there will be a little label on it that will say "Made In China".

[OlderAndWiser]

I think Musk has a head start in this race.

[Xawyx-2]

Probably Musk, he has a bit more money.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Bezos likely has a five-centimetre (two-inch) p*nis.

[hafinjun]

When you put it like that!!

[Simslover92]

Elon Musk for sure

[WonderingManII]

Elon Musk.

[TonyMetal___86]

The rocket d*ck of jeff bezos 🤣🤣
