Oh, go ahead and terraform the damn thing already..
2005-06-21 23:14:36 Timothy M. O'Brien [Reply | View]
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.

The moon has only trash rocks, almost no water. Mars is the place with some potential.

gravity is my soloflex...

The only exercise I get is periodically struggling against Earth's one gravity to move from one computer to another... I'd be a bouncing ball of lard on the moon.

No, no, NOOOO!

It's not that there's no mineral wealth up there, not to mention the clearest night skies to be found anywhere in a 300,000 mile radius, it's the giant man-eating worms (think cult movie 'Tremors') that live beneath the surface! That's the big stumbling block. If you listen closely to the Apollo transmissions, you can hear them 'tremoring' in the background. NASA are afraid to go back, they know what awaits the unsuspecting space tourist. Let them have it I say, if they somehow found there way down here...

Getting away from it all ...

If living on the moon allowed me to free myself from all of the insidious government regulations we now suffer under?
Why, I'd jump to the moon in less than 1/1,000,000 heartbeat – or sooner!
Imagine: No taxes, no stupid laws, and no idiot neighbors using the force of government to tell you how to live, what color to paint your house, when to mow your lawn ...
In short: No crass hideousness, ad nauseam ad infinitum. -

C'mon, man, are you just crazy? No taxes, you telling me that someone wouldn't figure out way to tax you.
You think the moon is going to be a place where you can play your stereo loud and just "live free". Think again, my Moon "kingdom" is going to be a total despotism, you just wait and see.

Beats being dead on the moon

I wouldn't want to live standing in a LEM. Living in a kilometers-wide bubble with an artificial 24hr
light cycle, trees bioengineered to grow a kilometer high, and strapon wings to fly among them? Sure!
I wouldn't want to live in LA, either, but millions do.

Wouldn't want to be down here for too long. Things aren't going very well on earth.

Living on the moon

The question doesn't include stipulations such as living in a dome on the moon with other people and some kind of wireless connection service so that people can login to servers on Earth.

How far is the moon from the Central Office - I can't do without my DSL connection ;^)

No weather
2005-06-17 08:38:58 raydreams [Reply | View]
Would be cool for awhile, but there's no variety. It's the same thing all the time. Most people experience a variety of weather even if they never venture far from home.

Too far from home

This, and my stomach is too sensitive for being quiet in such low gravity.
I'd be happy though to see people land on Mars in my lifetime.

Even though I grew up in the midst of the "Space Race" and was in my early 20's when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, the moon to me is rather boring as celestial bodies go.
Now, Mars.... That would be interesting!
Just my $0.02

Totally, I'd rather live on a floating outpost on a sea of Europa (or is it Io).
That would be the perfect place to develop my secret clone army with which to take my revenge on the Jedi!

Not enough good jazz clubs, not very diverse

Allthough the moon has very long nights, it has almost no nightlife, and thus far the human population has been way too homogenous for my taste. I like a little variety.
