Bush to Withdraw from Outer Space Treaty, Annex the Moon

In a move that will probably anger the international community, but may
please space advocates, the Bush Administration is planning to withdraw
from the Outer Space Treaty and claim the Moon as sovereign United
States territory. This will lead in turn to a program to sell off
parcels of lunar real estate and mineral rights in order to finance the
President's Moon, Mars, and Beyond Vision. With the prospect of helium
3 mining and other commercial ventures on the Moon, Dr. Lirpa Sloof, a
space policy analyst from the European Union, suggests that policy
change will not only pay for the exploration of the Moon, Mars, and
other destinations, but will turn a tidy profit for the US treasury.
There has been no comment from world leaders, though certain
Congressional Democrats are said to be concerned.

Times have changed. On this day, the international community is more
supportive of this kind of initiative.

Not only him but Dr Sloof too! http://www.sloof.us
Or maybe it's a relative of hers. Man being a commenter for the EU and
launching
a new space prize (http://www.tuberat.com) all in the same day. It's
just
unbelievably cool...... :-)

Even allowing for the fact that this is April 1st, one still can't
help but immediately think that the above wouldn't mean much
(interesting though it would be) until practical means to get there
exists...

I think I'll leave the .space groups until the _second_ of April... ;-)

But it would increase motivation to develop practical means to get
there...

Sounds exactly like WW-III to me.

Moon being disintegrated!

Perhaps we'll need to get my LSE up and operating before the moon
entirely self-destructs before our dumbfounded and thereby snookered to
death eyes.

This closing rant is contributed for the ongoing benefit of others (The
New York Times, The Washington Post and any other news media plus
whatever general topic newcomers), and not that any of this topic
matters to those without a stitch of remorse outside of whatever
appeases their MI6/NSA pagan NASA/Apollo cold-war or bust God(s), as in
spite of their spermware of flak having the intent as to kill-off my PC
if not myself, within my spare dyslexic time I've slightly polished on
my external 'gv-topics.htm' page, and I'm remaining intent upon working
on other pages as soon to be improved. As I learn more that can be
independently supported by the regular laws of physics, by sufficient
hard-science and subjectively honest interpretations of whatever I have
been given to work with, as best I'll share that knowledge, which will
likely include revisions and retractions upon any number of what I've
offered thus far. Unfortunately, since I'm unfunded and on the usual
'need-to-know' bases with regard to anything that might rock a
mainstream boat, and that my PC is being continually attacked with
NSA/MI6 spermware, it seems this process is going to take many
thousands of my lose cannon shots before the truth and nothing but the
truth is ever going be told. And I bet you thought the likes of big and
fully loaded aircraft smashing into fully occupied tall buildings was
as bad as it gets; think again.
