There is very little reason to build something on the moon except maybe to act as a place to build large craft

I think the quickest way for us to create artifical gravity fields would be to be forced onto another celestial surface.

Just tell the government we found the possibility of there being oil on the moon.
Problem solved.

The ISS is great, but that isn't a planet or moon.

the moon is boring asf

not much reason to live there

Sorry, that was a bad joke on my part. I wasn't even trying. lol

mars however is an absolute gold mine

'eh.

Mars might be worth.

Do we know if it has any exploitables?

We could turn the moon into a giant weapon's platform.

@JadenFrostwolf the sad fact is you could tell trump that and it would probably happen faster than his wall

@GingaBomber the surface is covered in charged perchlorates

Get that wall up first

only slightly more hospitible and it would be a perfect place for bacteria

Well, he certainly got his gorilla channel up quick, didn't he? <:Kappa:327142715592540171>

Gotta spend my tax payer dollars on that wall which can't defeat aircraft and work visas

we can only hope there is a significant amount of water on mars

Or Canada

Walls do work though.

otherwise it's hard to make methane

Well, walls are not entirely ineffective, or else they wouldn't have been used so much in history.

Walls work, sure, but idk if we have the resources to protect or maintain it.

you rather pay taxes spent on wellfare to the mexicans that get across?

They aren't perfect but they have a huge impact.

At least hes deporting them

It's not like we're gonna try to make the American version of the Great Wall

@ping I would argue that the moon is very worth going to because then we could build larger structures/ships in orbit due to the lower gravity

*Or will we?*

@Revan there's no reason we can't do that in LEO

Yo, want to continue this in chat?

talk

How about you let communities take care of their own and give me my money back so I can actually help the homeless dude down the street?

@ping No, you're not thinking large enough

@Revan But then we would have to pressurize those ships/buildings

what?

And if we tried, I feel like it would go poorly.

I'm talking about things bigger than a mile

yeah even then

we can do that in LEO
