Call me picky, but isn't the phrase 'leader of the free world' somewhat of an oxymoron? Out here in the free world we do not recognise this leader!

Make a state? Perhaps. Or: "bring under the control of the central government as distinguished from the separate units constituting a federation."

Can I clarify: the plan is not to take a nuclear reactor to the moon, but to build one there.
From a kit…?
or from scratch? (Using flints perhaps?)
And what is it going to be used for? Lunar submarines? Powering all those cities?
Next: a 1:1 scale matchstick model of the Eiffel tower on Mercury?

I was not asking for a retraction, but a published comment pointing out the flaws. But I really could not understand how it ever got through peer review as the issues were SO obvious. (I'm not a stats person, and it leapt out at me.)
