Excerpt from this article: "India's space program wants to go where no nation has gone before - to the south side of the moon. And once it gets there, it will study the potential for mining a source of waste-free nuclear energy that could be worth trillions of dollars."

Recommended sermon: Moon Madness! by Dr. Ian R. K. Paisley (1926-2014)
The text for this sermon is Ecclesiastes 7:29 (Audio): "Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions."
Note: The late Dr. Paisley preached Moon Madness on July 27th, 1969. That was just 7 days after America became the first nation to (allegedly!) land astronauts on the moon. I say 'allegedly', only because I'm not convinced it happened. America sent astronauts to the moon (and back!) 6 times between 1969 and 1972 - and they did it with less computing power than we have in a modern smartphone? And no artificial intelligence! And no one has gone back to the moon since.

Recommended quote: "Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff, as quoted in Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein
