Elon Musk’s ‘Moon Cities’ Fairy Tale: A Transparent Cover for Militarizing Lunar High Ground

Introduction

In February 2026, Elon Musk announced a sudden, dramatic pivot for SpaceX, shifting focus from his long-touted goal of colonizing Mars to building a ‘self-growing city’ on the Moon within a decade [1]. This abrupt change, presented as a pragmatic realization that the Moon is closer, has been breathlessly reported by a compliant tech press. But to those who scrutinize the patterns of power, this narrative is not a scientific epiphany; it is a masterclass in strategic deception.

Musk’s track record is one of comic-book futures sold to a scientifically illiterate public-from perpetually ‘next year’ Full Self-Driving cars to the erratic Grok AI. His moon city promise is the latest chapter, a fantastical cover story designed to secure public funding and approval for a far darker agenda: the weaponization of the ultimate strategic high ground. This article will deconstruct the biological impossibilities of lunar habitation, expose the suicidal environmental realities, and reveal how the seductive fantasy of ‘moon cities’ is a transparent smokescreen for deploying the most terrifying planetary bombardment system ever conceived.

Elon’s Sci-Fi Fantasy: From Mars to Moon, Same Empty Promises

Elon Musk’s declaration that ‘SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon’ represents a glaring contradiction of his own multi-year Mars colonization crusade [1]. This isn’t a course correction based on new science; it’s strategic theater. Musk himself noted the Moon lacks the carbon dioxide needed to make methane for his Starship fuel, a fundamental logistical flaw he previously used to justify focusing on Mars [2]. The sudden ‘realization’ that the Moon is a quicker target is a laughable excuse for a public long conditioned to accept technocratic fairy tales.

This pattern of overpromising and underdelivering is Musk’s hallmark. He sells visions of the future to a public whose understanding of physics and biology has been eroded by a corrupt education system and a deceitful media. The moon city narrative is merely the latest shiny object dangled before the masses to distract from the underlying military-industrial drive. As investigative journalist James Corbett has warned, one of the most important strategies to prepare against government-endorsed weaponized narratives is to build community with like-minded people who share your views [3]. Questioning Musk’s sudden lunar zeal is the first step in seeing through the con.

The Biological and Physical Impossibility of Lunar Cities

The dream of a bustling lunar metropolis shatters against the unforgiving reality of lunar environmental science. First and foremost is the lethal radiation environment. The Moon has no protective magnetosphere or substantial atmosphere to shield its surface from galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events. As research has confirmed, ‘The radiation dose rates from measurements obtained over the last four years… are higher than previously conceived’ [4]. Prolonged exposure to this radiation would lead to rapid cancer development and catastrophic genetic damage for any surface dweller.

Furthermore, the Moon’s lack of atmosphere means a pure vacuum at its surface. This presents two immediate, insurmountable problems for human life and machinery. First, any pinhole breach in a habitat or suit means instant explosive decompression and death. Second, the vacuum eliminates the possibility of combustion, rendering standard internal combustion engines for heavy machinery-necessary for any construction or mining-utterly useless [5]. The concept of operating functional heavy machinery in a vacuum without oxygen is a fantasy.

Finally, the extreme thermal environment would mechanically destroy any human-made structure. Surface temperatures swing between -173°C (-279°F) at night to 127°C (261°F) during the day [6]. This constant, radical expansion and contraction would fatigue and crack even the most advanced materials, leading to inevitable catastrophic structural failure. The notion of permanent surface cities is an engineering impossibility.

WAIT FOR THE MOON: Artemis II Lunar Mission Delayed for a Month After Hydrogen Leak During Fueling Test

Human beings are about to return to the moon soon – but not as soon as we expected.

Yesterday (3), NASA announced it would delay the Artemis II mission that will send four astronauts on an orbit around the moon.

The delay is due to issues that happened during a critical fuel test of its enormous rocket.

NBC News reported:

“Mission managers were conducting an elaborate launch day walkthrough, known as a ‘wet dress rehearsal’, at Kennedy Space Center in Florida when engineers detected leaking hydrogen at the base of the Space Launch System rocket. NASA was forced to end the test a little after midnight ET, with around 5 minutes and 15 seconds remaining in the simulated launch countdown.

Shortly after 2 a.m. ET on Tuesday, NASA announced it would forgo February’s launch window for the Artemis II mission around the moon, which extended from Friday through Feb. 11, to allow teams to review data and conduct another wet dress rehearsal. It said it will now aim for March ‘as the earliest possible launch opportunity’.”

RETURN TO THE MOON: Artemis II Historic Crewed Lunar Mission Delayed 48 Hours Due to Extreme Cold, Set to Take Off on February 8

The return of US astronauts to the moon orbit is easily the most overlooked contemporary event.

Ever since 1972, no human being has been to the moon surface or its orbit. But now, the Donald J. Trump administration is gearing up for a historic return.

The Artemis II will take American astronauts back to the moon, and a first mission, to orbit our satellite, will take off in less than 10 days.

The mission was today bumped two days ahead because of the inclement weather in Florida.

NASA delayed a the fueling test (‘wet dress rehersal’) for the Artemis II moon rocket to Monday (February 2), and that pushed the historic launch back to no earlier than 11:20pm EST on February 8.

CBS News reported:

“The long-awaited Artemis II mission will use NASA’s huge Space Launch System rocket to boost three NASA astronauts and a Canadian crewmate on a trip around the moon and back, the first such flight since the final Apollo mission 54 years ago. The upcoming mission will set the stage for another crew to attempt a landing near the moon’s south pole in 2028.

The Artemis II launch had been targeted for next Friday, assuming a leak-free fueling test Saturday. But with the test delay, and the time needed for NASA to analyze the results, the agency opted to give up launch opportunities on Feb. 6 and 7. If the rocket is not off the ground by Feb. 11, the flight will slip to early March.”

BACK TO THE MOON: NASA’s Artemis II Set To Send Astronauts Into Lunar Orbit as Soon as February

During the second year of Donald J. Trump’s second term, the US is going to make the moon great again.

This elusive goal, that no nation has attained since way back in 1972, is the number one priority of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), pushing the Mars mission further down the line.

The Artemis’ mission is to return American astronauts to the moon and establish a permanent lunar base — and it is finally about to launch its first crewed flight.

CNN reported:

“The landmark mission, dubbed Artemis II, is on track to lift off as soon as February. The highly anticipated endeavor will mark the first time astronauts have ventured beyond the bounds of near-Earth orbit since the final Apollo mission in 1972.

Artemis II will send a group of four astronauts — NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch as well as the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen — on a trip around the moon.”

Russia to build nuclear plant on Moon to power rovers, labs during 336-hour long nights

Russia has unveiled its plans to build a nuclear power plant on the Moon within the next 10 years to support its lunar program and a Russian-Chinese research station for future deep-space missions.

The proposal, confirmed by the country’s state space agency Roscosmos, would provide a sustained energy source for surface infrastructure, including rovers, scientific equipment, as well as a planned joint lunar research base with China.

The announcement followed as the US, India, Japan as well as several European nations increased efforts to establish a permanent presence on Earth’s only natural satellite. The renewed interest was prompted by the 2009 discovery of water ice on the lunar surface.

Power generation remains a great challenge for sustained lunar operations due to the two-week-long nights that restrict solar power. However, a nuclear power plant could offer continuous power regardless of lighting conditions, temperature extremes, or dust accumulation.

Nuclear energy for space

For the 2036 project, Roscosmos revealed that it has signed a contract with the Lavochkin Association, a Russian aerospace firm with decades of experience in planetary spacecraft development.

Even though the space agency did not explicitly describe the facility as a nuclear reactor, it confirmed the initiative involves Rosatom, the nation’s state nuclear corporation, as well as the Kurchatov Institute, Russia’s leading nuclear research center.

According to Roscosmos, the lunar power plant would support a broad range of activities tied to Russia’s lunar program. These include powering robotic rovers, an observatory and maintaining the infrastructure of the planned International Lunar Research Station.

“The project is an important step towards the creation of a permanently functioning scientific lunar station and the transition from one-time missions to a long-term lunar exploration programme,” Roscosmos said.

Trump signs order to put Americans on the moon by 2028. But is it feasible?

President Trump issued an executive order on Thursday urging NASA to put Americans on the moon by 2028, signing it the same day NASA’s new Senate-confirmed administrator Jared Isaacman took office. 

The order, titled “Ensuring American Space Superiority,” emphasizes the role of the upcoming Artemis missions for Americans to journey to the moon and Mars.

NASA has targeted April 2026 for the launch of Artemis II. It would take the American astronauts in orbit around the moon — the furthest mission into deep space in human history. 

Artemis III would put people on the surface of the moon for the first time in the 21st century. NASA’s website has listed a mid-2027 launch date. 

But former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine told the Senate Commerce Committee in a September hearing he doesn’t think the U.S. will be able to land astronauts on the moon by that date, nor by China’s stated goal of landing astronauts on the moon by 2030.

Astronauts set to reveal a 50,000-year-old human civilization lived on the moon, scientist claims

A scientist has claimed that astronauts may soon uncover the remains of a long-lost human civilization that once lived on the Moon 50,000 years ago. 

Author and geologist Gregg Braden told podcast host Joe Rogan that evidence of this ancient city was kept from the public by the US and Russia during the Cold War.

However, during the interview on Wednesday, Braden noted that emerging superpowers China and India plan to televise their findings once upcoming expeditions reach the lunar surface.

The two nations are planning to broadcast their lunar missions using live feeds from mission control and cameras on their robotic landers and rovers, streaming on national TV, social media, and official space agency apps.

China’s robotic Chang’e 7 mission is set for 2026, while India’s Chandrayaan-4 drone is now likely to launch in 2028, with manned missions for both set between 2030 and 2040. 

According to the scientist, who has written about the possibility of life on the moon and Mars, astronauts will discover archeological structures covered in languages that people will be able to recognize as being written by human cultures.

‘The evidence suggests they’re from us, from a time in our past, a cycle of civilization where we did great and beautiful things by working together until we destroyed one another through war, and that we’re repeating that cycle,’ Braden claimed.

Braden has previously stated in books like Deep Truth and Gaia TV’s Missing Links that humans on the moon came from a long-lost Earth civilization 50,000 years ago, which developed space-faring technology before destroying itself in war.

‘City killer’ asteroid 2024 YR4 could shower Earth with ‘bullet-like’ meteors if it hits the moon in 2032

New simulations reveal that the infamous “city killer” asteroid 2024 YR4 could shower Earth with “bullet-like” debris if it hits the moon in seven years’ time, potentially triggering an eye-catching meteor shower — and endangering the satellites that orbit our planet.

2024 YR4 is a potentially hazardous asteroid measuring roughly 200 feet (60 meters) across, making it large enough to wipe out a large urban area if it were to hit Earth head-on. It was first discovered in December 2024 but made headlines earlier this year when scientists first predicted that there was a chance it could smash into Earth on Dec. 22, 2032. The odds of a collision peaked at 3.1% in February, which was enough to prompt NASA to study it extensively. However, subsequent analysis revealed there is zero chance of it impacting our planet.

But in April, researchers realized that, while Earth is no longer in the firing line, the space rock could still hit the moon. The odds of such a collision have grown slowly but steadily, and most recently jumped to 4.3% earlier this month. Experts will likely know the final likelihood by 2028, when the asteroid will make its next close approach to our planet.

BEYOND PARODY: CBS Mornings Host Worries About America ‘Colonizing’ the Moon, is Reminded There’s No Indigenous Population There

During a conversation with Neil deGrasse Tyson, CBS Mornings host Vladimir Duthiers expressed worry about America ‘colonizing’ the moon and had to be reminded that there is no indigenous population there.

It’s just the latest reminder of how insane our media has become.

Duthiers is basically parroting the type of language you hear on far left college campuses about colonization. It’s one of the many ways the left uses language and ideas to bash our country and its history.

FOX News reported:

CBS host frets Trump admin plans for moon base could usher in new ‘age of colonialism’ in space

On “CBS Mornings Plus” on Wednesday, Duthiers and co-host Adriana Diaz discussed the White House calling for more human space exploration and administration plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon to precede an eventual U.S. lunar base with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Diaz asked if it was “inevitable that we’re going to have to go to the moon and try to colonize the Moon?”

“We know how the age of colonialism worked on this planet,” the host said. “Should we be trying to colonize and saying that there’s a keep-out zone that no other countries can participate in having?”

Tyson replied by pointing out that it would be difficult to colonize an area that does not have people.

“Well, the — the real problem with the colonization history in Western civilization is that there were people already there,” Tyson said.

Duthiers and Diaz agreed, and Tyson added that “there are no moon beings that were displaced as far as we know.”

The asteroid that will spare Earth might hit the moon instead. What happens if it does?

The asteroid known as 2024 YR4 is out of sight yet still very much on scientists’ minds.

The building-sized object, which initially appeared to be on a potential collision course with Earth, is currently zooming beyond the reach of telescopes on its orbit around the sun. But as scientists wait for it to reappear, its revised trajectory is now drawing attention to another possible target: the moon.

Discovered at the end of 2024, the space rock looked at first as if it might hit our planet by December 22, 2032. The chance of that impact changed with every new observation, peaking at 3.1% in February — odds that made it the riskiest asteroid ever observed.

Ground- and space-based telescope observations were crucial in helping astronomers narrow in on 2024 YR4’s size and orbit. With more precise measurements, researchers were ultimately able to rule out an Earth impact.
