(Worthy Satire) – In a groundbreaking (and moon-cracking) development, China and Russia have announced a historic agreement to build the first power plant on the Moon, sparking fears that the United States may soon need to import electricity from outer space.
“We plan to light up the dark side of the Moon — literally,” said Russian space minister Yuri Sputnikov, while sipping recycled moon water. “America can keep its flags and footprints. We’ll bring nuclear fusion and streetlights.”
At a joint press conference held under suspiciously cloudy skies (and possibly on a Hollywood backlot), Russian and Chinese officials unveiled plans for the “Lunar Friendship Reactor” — a facility reportedly powered by plutonium, propaganda, and pure spite. The mission? Beat the Americans, plant a bigger flag, and livestream it all in 4K.
“Together, we bring light to the darkness,” declared Chinese Communist Party Chairman Xi Jinping, standing before a backdrop of the Moon covered in solar panels, surveillance drones, and a towering hologram of himself holding a glowing red lantern. “We fully support international cooperation — provided we get to control it, name it, and deny it later.”
NASA, caught slightly off guard, issued a vaguely optimistic statement: “We believe in the Moon. We’ve been there. We think. Maybe. Let us check the tapes.”
Meanwhile, Elon Musk is already building the first Starbucks on Mars using a fleet of tireless Optimus robots with plans to livestream the grand opening via SpaceX satellites. The debut drink? “Moon Roast – Brewed on Mars. Too Bold for Earth.”
