The key question: Is this all high-minded political talk from people who will be gone when Mandarin becomes the lingua franca on the Moon?

By the time China has established a presence at Shakelton, it will be too late for a wake up call. China is investing in science while we're telling ours to leave for opportunities elsewhere. We're burying the future and half the country is applauding it.

Incredibly risky decision to conduct this mission and it's pretty risky to publish this account if DPRK really did not know about it because they're still going to want to retaliate.

I managed to solve it in the early 2000s with nothing other than a lot of time. I just messed with it whenever I was not typing at a customer service job. Definitely no genius required. Just persistance.

If he flexs his newfound immunity he could definitely stir the pot.

Knowing nothing of circumstances, I am willing to bet this happened because his Secret Service detail is staffed with loyalists instead of professionals.

If you get them young enough, you can avoid that troublesome think for yourself phase.
