It's more of a guarantee
but who cares
I do.
I like space shit.
The people building it may
It's why I fucking play EVE
if you go into a 100km higher orbit
you won't have to deal with anything
Yeah but wouldn't that make it harder to resupply?
stop.
Let's just orbit the sun to build things
use your brain
Problem solved
Oh, another reason to go to the moon, as @Dionara just mentioned, is getting stuff to the orbit to whatever you're building
I don't know astrophysics.
1/6th the gravity = less fuel to get materials up
So basically, the only use of the moon is a construction site and warehouse
I thought we were talking stuff from earth to the ISS
Not from the moon to ISS
the ISS is in a position where the cost in fuel of pushing it is less than what it would cost for every resuply mission to get to that higher orbit
if you put it on the moon it would cost many times more
Unless there is a self-sustaining colony on the moon.
You can build on the moon to eventually make it easier to get to mars.
That hs a surplus of supplies to send.
@ping Would it be any harder than building a self-sustaining colony on Mars?
@ping We can't make green houses, inject soil with nitrogen to make it more fertile, create gravity fields?
Does the moon have the required water?
If so, then that's the only reason not to colonize the moon
mars has water, minerals, energy, an atmosphere to keep you from getting cancer
Well, idk about the atmosphere.
It has one, yes
Mars has a minimal atmosphere
But idk if it will be enough xD
We would still need some sort of covering for the colony
Pretty sure the atmosphere on Mars is still filled with things that give you cancer
a lot less than earth, but infinitely more than the moon
And isn't the dust toxic?
On mars
probably
