Is this guy really that dumb or did he mean dark as out of sight of earth. Like when an operative goes dark,out of sight and silent.

Maybe they just can’t get that Pink Floyd tune out of their heads?!

But the satellite would go to sleep because it’s the dark side of the moon.

With a name like Pink Floyd, I always knew that guy was some sort of weirdo and not to be trusted

Don’t we live in an age of satilites? Wouldn’t a spy satilite tell you what is happening there?

Well, the "dark side" gets as much sunlight as the side we see. And we've had many astronauts get a good look at as they orbited the moon. Nelson's an idiot.

But if our satellites are cooperating with whatever entity is on the other side, (and they must be) they’re obviously NOT going to let us peons know anything about it. And they sure haven’t!

Good god.... the NASA director.

No more embarrassing than our Transportation Secretary Buttigeig.

Or our Assistant Secretary of Health Levine, and stealer of women's clothes Sam Brinton

And the most embarrassing of all, our POTUS and VPOTUS.

Fla finally dumped this moron. The rats tried every trick and stall tactic when he lost his re-election. Recounts, machine sabotage the works.

It isn’t even astronomically possible for a moon circling a planet circling a sun to have one side always facing the sun. Even (if not especially) if it was stationary with respect to the planet it orbits. And didn’t we just have a lunar eclipse? Is that side of the moon still dark during an eclipse too, or nah?

The stupid. Make it stop! For the love of God, please make it stop!

There is no side of the moon that is always dark.

NASA’s understanding of ‘climate’ seems equally absurd.

Getting control of NASA was another reason for the big steal. Big changes were implemented soon afterwards including Space Cadet Nelson

GOP Senator (and former Governor) Rick Scott defeated Bill Nelson six years ago.

Nelson would be running for reelection to the U.S. Senate if Rick Scott had not squeaked by him with a 10,000 vote lead.

November 2018 - Scott: 4.1 million - Nelson: 4.09 million

Scott will be 72 years old in seven months.

Anyone know how Scott is polling against the Democrat?
