Solar

Think of the size of an array you would need

It's much more efficient than on earth, as there is no atmosphere or clouds

It's not that but manufacturing requires lots of electricity

If the necessary components are available you just need a starting base and can expand from there, you don't even necessarily need a crew with more advanced autonomous ground vehicles and remote operators

But would the commercial viability be?

I disagree that it would work but we have to just come to that conclusion

So what would the purpose of investment be?

Staking a claim before anyone else does,
building better telescopes,
building the first base on a different celestial body,
Possibly supplying shipyards in lunar orbit (lower escape velocity than earth, therefore cheaper)

I have an interesting "future conspiracy theory" I'm going to share that I've been thinking about for many years now.

Obviously the united states landed on the moon. The evidence is overwhelming and irrefutable. However, there is one problem. A question moon landing deniers ask that will only get louder as time goes on "Why did we stop going back?"

This question is going to keep being asked past the point that everyone involved with the Apollo missions is going to have died. Eventually, the moon landing deniers are going to win. They'll push their theory across generations, and as long as we never go back they will eventually win the argument. A single trickle of insanity wearing down a boulder of factual evidence.

But it gets worse.

At some point someone else is going to land on the moon. Most likely the Chinese. In the course of their missions there they may decide to pay a visit to one or more Apollo landing sites. And what do you know? They find nothing.

Looks like the Americans did fake that moon landing. Wow.

Also, totally coincidence everyone, but the Chinese government announced that it's not going to abide by the UN outer space treaty. Now, as it appears that we're the first to land on the moon we're claiming it as property of China.

Alright boys I'm back

Oh Noes!

I should be able to be active again

Nice

Nice

What happened anyway?

Even the most ardent feminist seems to want to submit to a man and to full tradwife in her fantasies. But she knows she's too ugly (mostly inside, but also outside) for it to happen. So she wants to ruin it for all other women.

women fundamentally are incapable of honesty with themselves and cannot ever admit what they really want

so they just pretend they know and this is why we think they are crazy

well in modern society we are encouraged and forced to believe this isn't the case

women can't admit that they don't want what a man wants, so when we lie to them and tell them from a young age that what a man wants out of life is the same thing a woman wants, they strive for it and inevitably trainwreck

As the great philosopher of the 90's, Sinbad said: "Women be different from men."

bitches is crazy, yo

also, the earth is flat

Shit Tier Posting

It is flat

Debate me

It is actually shaped like a jar and we're inside it

The Earth is flat, and hollow, and we live inside it. Because we lost world war two. Only Nazis live on the surface now.

Actually, it is shaped like an eggplant

Earth isn't real. We live on Big Nigga

Fuck, I just done remembered somehting

Reality isn't real, we live in an erotic Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction?
