    I don’t want to look up at the moon and see that bullshit. You know the Epstein class tech bros are going to put ADS ON OUR FUCKING MOON.

      They would have to be enormous to be seen from earth. When viewed from earth the moon only has a visual size of approximately 1 cm so the ad would have to be a thousand of kilometres across to just appear miniature from our perspective.

      The moon base is for insurance CEOs to hide from people that are not getting the health care they are paying through their noses for.

      They can afford it cause they are not paying for their customers health care.

        I don’t think so. Human bodies weren’t made for 0g. The CEO’s would likely stay here and send the poor’s to the moon to work the mines.

        This. I don’t know why people ever even talk about universal healthcare. If it ever happened here, the place wouldn’t be called the USA. Not even worth talking about it, 0.0000000% chance of EVER happening.

          To make it happen would require a massive bloody revolution where the rich are executed and thousands of corrupt people are imprisoned for treason.

          That’s as likely as China becoming actually communist and getting rid of state capitalism and state approved oligarchs.

          Or, Russians finally not falling out of windows on a daily basis.

          Never gonna happen.

      Million times cheaper to launch rockets from the moon than from earth. Easy access to almost an infinite amount of useful materials.

      Could easily end wars on earth so we don’t fight over some lithium in eastern europe. Or enough materials and batteries replace petrol once it runs out.

      And who knows maybe our mars descendants will come back to repopulate earth

        This is ignoring the massive costs in building, staffing, and maintaining a moon base. There are battery chemistries that do not rely on lithium and even there weren’t, we wouldn’t need to fight wars over it. The wars are fought in an attempt to control those resources, even if not scarce. Expanding territory does not reduce scarcity when the scarcity is artificial (so that a few can exert control over the many). Also, why would the earth be depopulated while mars somehow thrives?

      Said the haters every time someone pushed the boundaries of science and technology.
