They have to cover up the Nazi Hitler camp on the moon before the
Chinese find out when they go.

Nope - just a little following in the PowerPoints of a variety of
nations space programs who are proposing moon missions to prove they
are an actual space program by an actual nation.

Not one of them is anything more than vaporware and posturing. (And
none of them have any real support outside of the agency.)

Germany preparing for moon mission

Mar 01 2:18 PM US/Eastern

The German space agency is reportedly preparing for a mission to the
moon.
The head of the German Space Programme (DLR), Walter Doellinger, told
the Financial Times Deutschland that it would be ready by 2013 to send
an unmanned space shuttle to orbit the earth's only natural
satellite.


"We want to show that Germany has the know-how," he said, after the
DLR presented its plans for the mission to the German parliament.

Completing a moon mission would catapult the country into the league
of nations which can send spacecraft into orbit.

Doellinger said the federal government was mulling the project.

A high-ranking official in the economy ministry, Helge Engelhard, said
Berlin was "not negatively disposed" towards a moon mission.

He added that the mission should have clear scientific or technical
goals.

It is estimated that sending a shuttle to orbit the moon would cost
Germany between 300 and 400 million euros (396 million to 528 million
dollars).

Italy and Britain are also currently looking at sending unmanned
shuttles around the moon.

Germany became the first nation to launch a man-made object into space
in the 1940s when it tested the V-2 ballistic missile which it used
towards the end of World War II.

Er, WRONG!

Guess again fuckwit. We have three THREE 3 count them 3 moons.
Not 1, not 2. 3 moons.

There's always someone who doesn't do their research about how many moons
we've got, isn't there?

Now the true space program can begin.

The "US" space program at its peak was based on German science and
implemented and designed by German expatriates.

The US has not gone back to the moon since the 1960s because they cannot.
They cannot remake the German rocket technology and so use inferior
rockets. Shuttles are fragile toys compared to German capsule technology.
NASA was given the building blocks to launch the space age and after fifty
years they have only come up with some robot toys and the shuttle toy,
both
of which are worthless and uninspiring.

The Germans may just make this planet interesting again. They are known
for
that.

Maybe. The programs with Germany, Japan and others would certainly
cost quite a bit for their respective countries corporations and/or
govt's, as opposed to working to have influence/partnership with NASA.

I wonder how popular such things are with people in those countries
though?
