LINK Donald Trump Signs Order Encouraging U.S. To Mine The Moon For Minerals
This is very ridiculous, as the costs to go to the moon would make the recovery of minerals totally unprofitable. It's like paying a million dollars to receive just ten dollars back.

The Moon appears to have Helium-3 in abundance, which might be very useful for fusion power. We also need to be able to mine water on the Moon at some point, just for use as water, hydrogen, and oxygen for Moon bases and such. Not a crazy idea, other nations like China and India are looking into it. Timing is a bit odd, one would think Trump might have other priorities now.

Nope. It's Newsweek. I thought when i first read the headline it would be satire too. But nope. It's real.
My only real consolation is I'll now know the answer to one of the questions on "Wait, Wait, Don't tell Me", the NPR news quiz show.
@snytiger6 We're not even through one bit of batshit fucking crazy and he's already on to the next bit of batshit fucking crazy. He's just a busy little rabid bunny, ain't he?
