F$%k China. They'll have an armed manned base there in no time, and will claim the whole thing is theirs.

One has to wonder at the level of reporting when he reports the rover that landed there last year in on "the dark side of the moon" and then shows images of it running around in daylight.

There is no such thing as the dark side of the moon. I guess Pink Floyd's album influenced everyone on the planet.

Dark side only means the side we never see from earth.

They've already admitted plans to construct a "Moon Base" there, but...move along, nothing to see here!

Oh, and take it easy will ya...I mean, stealing ROW private-sector and .gov IP/classified info and then building rockets, landers, and rovers via forced labor takes a LOT of hard work!

Except that they are far more likely to try to do it.

Lunar rocks will be 'dirt cheap' soon.

I want to be the first on my block with 'lunar rock landscaping'!

pretty impressive considering 90% of my family cannot park their cars correctly between the white lines.

They can afford to go to the Moon. They are not spending their treasury on bail outs.

Ah so. It may have been one of your relatives that scraped the new paint off of the door to my '56 coupe. The dumbass parked next to me in a lot full of open spaces and opened the door of his appliance sedan right into the door of my car. He looked at me and smiled. If he had been an anglo I would have assumed he did it on purpose. I assumed it was a cultural things and was an apology and let it go, but I still have the scrape on my door.
