Neal Freiman

So again, we are stretching way out into the future, but there is a plan, which is more than we could have said a few months ago.

We have to say that the moon base is replacing a prior plan that was essentially build a orbiting space station above the lunar surface and use that as kind of a jumping off point to make these missions.

That is no longer a thing anymore.

And that has caused a lot of rifts between the US and their international partners.

Europe is extremely mad right now because they're feeling whiplashed around.

They had actually delivered a massive metallic cylinder

that was going to be this big critical habitation module for NASA back in April.

So they were all in on this plan to build basically a mini international space station.

That plan is dead now.

It's all about moon base, which some people within NASA are saying, hey, this is a good idea.

For so long, we've just been pulled in so many different directions.

At least we know we can wrap our heads around moon base.

It's all about moon base over the next decade or so.

But

it came with some mad Europeans.

I'm pumped.

Let's go.

I'm dressing up as an astronaut for Halloween.

All right, we're going to take a quick break and come back with Neil's numbers right after this.
