Elon Musk, the man who once promised Mars colonies by yesterday, has apparently decided the Moon is the new cool kid on the cosmic block. Forget rockets—now we’re building a gigantic electromagnetic catapult (basically a lunar slingshot for AI satellites) because why launch stuff normally when you can yeet it into orbit like a Moon-based Angry Birds level? He’s pivoting from “Mars or bust” to “Moon factory first, because it’s quicker,” claiming a self-growing lunar city in under 10 years while Mars gets bumped to the B-team. Orbital data centers, a “sentient sun” of satellites, and enough sci-fi jargon to make Isaac Asimov jealous. Next up: probably asking aliens for Wi-Fi passwords.
