Why Not Open Artemis Moon Program to Outside Investors

I am all for U.S. nationalism generally. On the return to the moon program and build a base I have a different take; allow outside investors including China and Russia, Saudi Arabia etc. to buy into the program to a level that at any time would comprise 49% of the cost.


The United States has a history of hot and cold on manned space missions, as well as converting basically good programs into union pork that go on forever without producing much after the start. A manned lunar research and relaunch base could use input from other nations from the start. It makes little sense for redundant Russia and Chinese programs for the moon with all three nations ending up with smaller bases not well enough funded.

Human efforts to establish permanent and productive manned space colonies within ecologically rational criteria will cost a lot of money, though with the potential of returning orders of magnitude more than the investment over time. A lunar port near the base should be planned for landing commercial spaceships. Maybe it should be named the Trump Space Facility. https://gizmodo.com/spacex-s-starhopper-makes-its-first-free-flying-leap-1836727226

The Democrat Party is likely to cut the guts out of the U.S. Space program in order to have higher wages, Medicare and drivers training for illegal aliens on the Pelosi vineyards plantation and so forth. Investment from Europe, India and etc would keep the moon base sustainable economically.

If the Nadler hearings and impeachment services could redirect some of its work to the new lunar base, in 2024 the first Lunar inquiry into impeaching the President could transpire with exciting video for all on Earth with Rep Nadler starring again.
