All aboard the moon train: DARPA is trying to figure out how to build a lunar railroad

With the United States planned return to the Moon by 2025, give or a take a a few years, DARPA tasked
US aerospace and defense tech firm Northrop Grumman to develop a concept for a lunar railway.

No doubt the urgency to fund studies now.  Seriously, considering how long it's taking the CA HSR project
to move along, perhaps now is a good time.  The added costs that could be saved not having to deal with
lunar eminent domain, for instance.

I guess it'll have to be electric, since internal combustion is out of the question.  Going to take a powerful rocket to get all that steel up there.  Good luck. 

I think it makes more sense to consult with the cow that jumped over the moon. Just sayin'.

Thought this had to be from The Onion. Nope!

........or The Babylon Bee, right?  So, anyway, speaking of lunatic ideas,
what happened to Biden's Trans-Indian Ocean railroad, remember?

Someone should ask Elroy Jetson about running any kind of lunar service on the moon

I remember. I understood the political context behind the statement. That context should become moot pretty soon, so it's better to forget (mocking global politics).

It's right up there with the newest biggliest healthcae plan the world never saw.
