Back in the 1940s, when the Nazis realized they were losing, some of them fled to the dark side of the moon and when they realized there wasn’t much to drink there, they started developing a device to draw water from the Earth so they’d have something to drink. But they only managed to get it to lift the water by a few metres before they died from said lack of water and didn’t have the decency to turn their machine off before the last one died.
It’s why we did the whole space race thing (the development of ICBMs was just a front), but then we gave up because it turns out it’s hard to bring enough water for an exploration expedition to locate the hidden Nazi facility so that a later scientific expedition can study it for a later engineering expedition to disable it. Or maybe finish it because then we could use that water to sail to space instead of using expensive rockets.
And that last bit is why SpaceX is sabotaging the moon mission by being incompetent at developing a moon lander. Though there’s also speculation that Elon Musk thought they said “moon lender” and thought it was his chance to make moon PayPal and it’s delayed because they haven’t yet managed to make a self-landing bank branch.
Anyways, the moral of the story is sometimes you can look smarter if you don’t elaborate past the first sentence of your beliefs.
It’s because of the moon!
