    I think Dominicans have to claim a part of Moon for themselves and then it will be a possibility to sell unlimited amount of passports to foreigners. I heard even forecast that it can generate one billion dollars in next free years!

    Ok! Great! Water has been found on the moon. The Rich, after they have ruined planet Earth, will fly their super jets commercial to the moon and the Poor (like me so) will stay on contaminated, spoilt planet Earth with little resources left to sustain us.

    Ok! Move to the moon, spoil it too.

    Netflix’s Snowpiecer….anyone?

    No, that was done a long time ago, in the permanently shaded areas. This is discovery of more water than thought before, in other areas too.

    Years ago I brought a telescope to Calibishie. One guy swore he saw houses, people, and cars. You can’t fix stupid!

    Yah but I thought Celine Dion had established that already. I mean when she asked her man if he wanted her to get water from the moon 😨. Ok then

    So are you going to set up a colony on the moon? and as we’re on the topic, what’s on the far side of the moon? the dark side? Aliens? a secret military base? A colony of earthlings? we’re still waiting for y’all to tell us the truth.
