Trump wants to protect USA from infiltration by evil Santa
President Donald Trump celebrated Christmas Eve by asking the children who called him what gifts they were looking forward to, and at the same time promised not to allow the "evil Santa" to infiltrate the country, even suggesting that a stocking full of coal might not be so bad. The President and First Lady Melania Trump, who were holidaying at their Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, took part in a traditional conversation with children who were calling the North American Air and Space Defense Command, which playfully tracks Santa's journey around the world.
He did not provide further explanation. Trump often referred to past Christmas by criticizing his political enemies, including the year 2024 when he released a post "Merry Christmas to radical left-wing madmen". During his first term, Trump on December 24, 2017, wrote a critical internet post aimed at a high-ranking FBI official, whom he believed was biased against him, said the AP agency.
Russia wants a nuclear power plant on the moon in 2036
Russia plans to build a nuclear power plant on the Moon in the next decade, which will supply its lunar space program and a joint Russo-Chinese research station, as part of the efforts of countries with a space program, which are vying for exploration of Earth's sole natural satellite. NASA would like a nuclear power plant on the moon as early as 2030.
Since 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space, Russia has boasted a leading position in space exploration, but in recent decades it has lagged behind the United States and increasingly also behind China. Roscosmos, the Russian state space company, said in a statement that it plans to build a lunar power plant by 2036, and for this purpose has signed a contract with the Lavochkin Association aerospace firm, reported by Reuters.
