CBS host warns Trump admin plans for moon base could usher in new age of space colonialism
|
 [NYPOST] CBS News host Vladimir Duthiers questioned the Trump administration's plan to establish a base on the moon and drew parallels to Earth's history of colonialism.
| Oh noze! Those poor, abused Moon Maidens! Whatever will they do?? |
On ''CBS Mornings Plus'' on Wednesday, Duthiers and co-host Adriana Diaz discussed the White House calling for more human space exploration and administration plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon to precede an eventual U.S. lunar base with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Diaz asked if it was ''inevitable that we're going to have to go to the moon and try to colonize the Moon?''
Tyson said that the United States is being ''reactive'' in a race to the moon with China, and stated, to the laughter of the panel, that he does not want to ''live on the moon.''
But Duthiers questioned if colonizing the moon was a good idea.
''We know how the age of colonialism worked on this planet,'' the host said. ''Should we be trying to colonize and saying that there's a keep-out zone that no other countries can participate in having?''
Tyson replied by pointing out that it would be difficult to colonize an area that does not have people.
“Well, the — the real problem with the colonization history in Western civilization is that there were people already there,” Tyson said.
Duthiers and Diaz agreed, and Tyson added that “there are no moon beings that were displaced as far as we know.”
Ah, yes. Stupid people discussing things they don't know anything about, using ideas they were fed in college bull sessions.
