Duffy Says (Quietly) America Will Be Claiming Part Of The Moon
Acting NASA Administrator Duffy announcing NASA policy at Department of Transportation.

Keith’s note: Yesterday Acting NASA Administrator Duffy made a significant announcement about NASA – the use of nuclear power and lunar land claims – but he did not make these accouncements at NASA – but at the Department of Transportation. At one point he said: “There’s a certain part of the Moon that everyone knows is the best. We have ice there – we have sunlight there. We want to get there first and claim that for America.” (video below). No one from NASA seems to have clarified the statement by Duffy that NASA or America intends to “claim” part of the Moon. So it must be part of the plan, right?. But wait: here’s no mention of this announcement at NASA.gov or on @NASA or of this 31 July 2025 Directive 31 Jul 2025 NASA memo from Sean Duffy titled Directive on Fission Surface Power (FSP) Development memo. Why is NASA being so shy about all of this? (video and memo below)

    Sounds like this guy wants to replay what Europeans did when they first started sailing ocean going vessels. Lots of attention getting, but who will be the first in this century (or next) to send someone to the moon and bring them back safely?
