without much evidence

The moon is a big pile of useless shit

@Rat King It's a combination of 2 sources. 1: Moon rock analysis. 2: The fact that the helium-3 isotope is a very common product of thermal nuclear reactions, aka solar wind, hence the lunar soil being saturated with it. It's quite well filtered by the Earth's magnetic field so it never makes it to Earth.

Even if the moon has helium it's useless

We've made more helium-3 from nuclear weapons testing than natural helium-3 that exists on Earth lol

The moon is a balance weight

So is that a good thing or a bad thing

@Rat King What's it balancing?

Then moon controls the tides

@OffensiveTaco It's a " thing "... not good or bad.

Fair enough

oh, you mean the helium-3 made from nuclear testing?

The moon actually controls the ocean tides

It's just a thing 😛

@Rat King Most of it, but so does the Sun 😛

the moon is a dried up ovary

every year the moon moves 2 inches away from the earth

@Rat King Sooo... you're saying I've got time? 😄

I said 2 inches

Could be 2 miles

Can't remember

Yeah, you keep saying 2 inches a lot. What are you really thinking about? 🤔

Haha

🤔

Jk, it is about 2 inches per year 😛

If the earth is 500 billion years old

How close was the moon then?

There's actually a few dedicated telescopes that make the measurement every few weeks. The most well known is the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico. They use a huge 6megawat laser and bounce it off the Moon... A glorified radar gun 🤣

You can also do it low tech style with a HAM radio but it won't be superbly accurate.

@Rat King The moon didnt exist 500 billion years ago

I've seen people bounce their own voices in an audio steam off the Moon for a distance ping 🤣

with HAM radios

the moon was created out of the debris of a planetary collision after earth was born

@Deleted User neither did earth

Yeah@Deleted User

@Deleted User Universe isn't that old.

Welcome, <@!345869573440012288>.

hol up

Why do I feel the sudden need to watch the movie Idiocracy? 🤣

you just said earth is 500 billion years @Rat King

oh wait
