Subject:   Oh, go ahead and terraform the damn thing already..

What's with you humans, instead of taking a pool, why not just go ahead and terraform the damn thing. We'll ship some water to create a little ocean and supply some sort of stable breathable atmosphere, but then what? Am I going to have to sit and watch Tony Danza try to sell me some Moon timeshare? Or maybe a freakishly preserved Dick Clark will start counting down New Years in 2080 on the shores of Mare Fecunditatis. If we're lucky we can have a whole big silly debate about whether or not the Senate will allow us to mine for water in the Lunar Wildlife Preserve.



That and everybody will start bragging about the dot-moon craze and how the economy has totally changed forever. Really now, wouldn't the moon just feel a little depressing, people trying to call you only to get that annoying 8 second delay on your lunar cell phone. Wouldn't it just be easier if we just stayed here and used all that brainpower to cure world poverty?



I for one prefer sleeping in to space travel.
