Presidents Bush’s planned announcement of United States future Moon program validates the premise of the potential hijacking of the Moon, as told in the novel Moon Jack.

President Bush has made an official announcement of the United States desire to establish a permanent base on the Moon with a continuing focus to a manned Mars mission. Earth’s Moon is now the focus of international efforts to re-visit, and in the case of the United States to set up a base of operations, and settlement. This renewed interest coincides with the recently released book Moon Jack’s premise that the Moon would make an excellent terrorist target. This renewed increase in attention is foretold in the pages of “Moon Jack”. By utilizing private technology, and new age weapons a significant threat to the entire earth could be posed by hijacking the Moon by terrorists. What would it take for one of these non-governmental programs to be infiltrated, or as portrayed in the novel taken over by force?

With the President’s announcement the Moon returns to the forefront of NASA’s attention from the many decades of neglect that resulted because of the favoring of other higher profile endeavors, and the anti-climatic sediment of the past moon missions.

“With recent efforts by some of our newest titans of industry investing heavily in private space travel, the concept of rockets being hijacked and used for nefarious purposes is no longer science fiction,” Says the author Walt Crosby. “The Earth’s Moon has been the forgotten frontier. Since the last Apollo missions the Moon has taken a back seat to other space programs, notably Mars and deep space missions.”

Given the admitted time frames for a proper NASA implementation for revisiting the Moon, the premise of “Moon Jack” holds true, in that the governing authorities would have little recourse in responding to the threat.

But what type of threat is the Moon’s destruction to the Earth? It is commonly agreed that every facet of nature’s function from weather, cataclysmic seismic activity, and huge oceanic disruptions would occur without our nearest neighbor. The full force and effect is probably out of the ability of man to predict.

The Moon is finally returning to a position of focus and importance. The author hopes that the appropriate precautions can prevent the real scenario of Moon Jack from occurring.
