Texas Company Lands On Moon In "First Successful Commercial Landing"
From Zero Hedge.

On health: boil some eggs, have a cup of coffee, eat some broccoli, do some pushups, get plenty of sunshine and love. Everything they said would kill me, made me stronger.

Blabbering on tv is not the same thing as running a society. In fact, politicians don't "run the society", industrialists and operators run it. Lumberjacks run the society.
Running a society is hard work, men's work! If a woman wants to run a society, she needs to grow a pair of balls, and then "free time" will be a thing of distant dreams. WTF is "free time" anyway? My time is not free.
To scale this up to generate a single watt would cost $10.5B and weigh 15 tons.
Because the spacecraft was designed to travel far from the Sun where solar panels are useless, it required a nuclear power source.
Key Features of the Power System
The Fuel: The system uses Plutonium-238 in the form of plutonium oxide.
Heat to Electricity: The natural radioactive decay of the plutonium generates heat. Thermocouples then convert this thermal energy directly into electricity.
The Units: Voyager 1 carries three RTGs, which are mounted together on a long boom to keep radiation away from the sensitive science instruments.
Initial Output: At launch in 1977, the three RTGs combined produced about 470 watts of power.
Current Power Status: due to the radioactive half-life of the plutonium and the degradation of the thermocouples. The power output decreases by about 4 watts every year
