Claim

NASA's administrator declared America will never give up the Moon again, announcing near-monthly lunar equipment landings from 2027 and crewed surface missions every six months, with observers noting planned lunar mass drivers would double as superweapons since a kilogram of moon rock carries the kinetic energy of fifteen kilograms of TNT on reentry.

Reported metric: 1 kg ≈ 15 kg TNT

Reporting date: (not necessarily the event date)
