Sarcastic Danica Patrick Openly Trashes NASA’s Another Giant Leap for Mankind – “Treaty With the Dark Side”

The world of space exploration just got a whole new spin to it. And the NASCAR legend Danica Patrick is all over it. NASA’s ambitious plans to build homes on the Moon by 2040 have got not only excitement but also a touch of sarcastic dig from the former NASCAR star.

Known for her unique takes on various matters, Danica Patrick took to social media to share her witty thoughts about NASA’s mission to the Moon.

NASA’s moonshot dreams involve more than just a lunar stroll. The agency has set its sights on constructing viable lunar habitats that can house both astronauts and future civilians. The goal? By 2040, the Moon could be home to the first human subdivision in space. However, some in the scientific community question the ambitious timeline. Nonetheless, NASA remains undeterred.

Danica Patrick trolls NASA with a brilliant question

NASA’s intricate plan involves blasting a 3-D printer to the Moon to create structures layer by additive layer. Universities and private companies are making such groundbreaking technology possible through partnerships, creating these homes from specialized lunar concrete derived from the Moon’s own surface materials.

“We’re at a pivotal moment, and in some ways, it feels like a dream sequence,” said Niki Werkheiser, NASA’s director of Technology Maturation according to the New York Times. “In other ways, it feels like it was inevitable that we would get here.”

The concept of “Moon houses” left many in awe. But Danica Patrick couldn’t resist a tongue-in-cheek reaction to the idea.

Her wit took center stage as she questioned the necessity of returning to the Moon in the first place. She took to her Instagram story to share a post from People Magazine and wrote, “Reeeeeally? We need to get there, again. Supplies. Builders. And… why? Did we make a peace treaty with the “dark side”?“ It’s a classic Danica Patrick response, infused with humor and a hint of skepticism.

Surprisingly, this is not her first comment on one of such surprising announcements from NASA.

The idea of constructing structures in space is no longer science fiction. NASA has joined forces with ICON, a construction technology company based in Austin, Texas, to make this lunar vision a reality. ICON has already received funding from NASA and announced a $60 million project for space-based construction using 3-D printing technology.

While these plans are currently in the conceptual stage, they have involved architects at firms like the Bjarke Ingels Group and SEArch+ to visualize lunar habitats. ICON, a pioneer in 3-D printing technology, envisions a future where they can print objects layer by layer in space using proprietary building materials.

Jason Ballard, ICON’s CEO, emphasized, “It’s a surprisingly natural progression if you are asking about the ways additive construction and 3-D printing can create a better future for humanity.” The challenge, however, is entirely new in deep space, where physics and logistics present unique obstacles.

“Chemistry is the same up there, but physics are different,” noted Patrick Suermann, interim dean of the School of Architecture at A&M University. Working closely with NASA, they are developing a construction system that can be operated by robots in space. The critical aspect is traveling light, as every additional kilogram carried to the Moon costs a significant amount.

“There’s no Home Depot up there. So you either have to know how to use what’s up there, or send everything you need,” Suermann concluded.
