Have you ever been in a blackout? I have seen the results of centralized power distribution when it fails. Remember the Great Northeastern Blackout of 2003? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast … ut_of_2003

He seems to have had  a real insight into the workings of industry. I think we saw this happen  in Germany  also. That didnt  go well either.

Re: The Moon Treaty of 1979 - Turning Curse into a Blessing

There is no actual treaty banning Nuclear power in space. The issue is public fears that an accident could cause chaos especially on launch.

We have launched many RTG power sources and there has been public protests.

Though on the Moon nuclear is not really a concern we have much more effective source of power in the form of Solar but it will be a source of radioactive materials.

The Japanese are passing Laws to Exploit space resources

Russia has taken a different view. “The matter of regulation of these mining activities is still a very thorny issue,” Dmitry Rogozin, director general of Roscosmos, said during a session of the Global Space Exploration Conference 2021 in St. Petersburg, Russia, June 15.

Japan fourth country in the world to pass space resources law
https://spacewatch.global/2021/06/japan … urces-law/
– Japan is the fourth country in the world – after the United States, Luxembourg and the United Arab Emirates – to have a dedicated law for the exploration and exploitation of space resources.
The Law Concerning the Promotion of Business Activities Related to the Exploration and Development of Space Resources was passed by the National Diet of Japan, the new space startup ispace said and welcomed the law. The law provides that Japanese private business operators shall be permitted to engage in the exploration and development of space resources, such as water, minerals, and other non-living resources in outer space, on the Moon and other celestial bodies, the Japanese lunar exploration company with a European subsidiary in Luxembourg said.

Musk to Get Sued For Crashing On The Moon?

'Don’t Let Elon Musk Destroy the Moon'
https://spectator.org/dont-let-elon-mus … -the-moon/

Even if this crash wasn’t Musk’s doing, as some allege, Musk is still without question the world’s biggest space slob. His Starlink satellites, which beam high-speed internet from satellites, as well as debris from failed missions account for 1,600 close encounters per week, which is when spacecraft come within three-fifths of a mile from each other.
A European satellite had to dodge at the last minute to avoid a collision with a SpaceX satellite when the SpaceX craft refused to change course. SpaceX officials said they didn’t get the email the previous day raising the concern.

Re: The Moon Treaty of 1979 - Turning Curse into a Blessing

Can China claim ownership rights on the Moon

https://www.moondaily.com/reports/Can_C … n_999.html

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson recently expressed concerns over China's aims in space, and in particular, that China would, in some way, claim ownership over the Moon and stop other countries from exploring it. In an interview with a German newspaper, Nelson cautioned, "We must be very concerned that China is landing on the Moon and saying: 'It's ours now and you stay out.'" China immediately denounced the claims as a "lie".

This spat between the administrator of NASA and Chinese government officials comes at a time when both nations are actively working on missions to the Moon - and China has not been shy about its lunar aspirations.

Re: The Moon Treaty of 1979 - Turning Curse into a Blessing

The Moon might speak Esperanto and be owned by nobody, Treaty of Tordesillas was signed in Burgos in 1524 the treaty placed Monaco under the protection of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. Treaty of Zaragoza, also called the Capitulation of Zaragoza (alternatively spelled Saragossa) was a peace treaty between Castile and Portugal, signed on 22 April 1529 by King John III of Portugal and the Castilian emperor Charles V, in the Aragonese city of Zaragoza, the treaty defined the areas of Castilian and Portuguese influence in Asia.
