Royale with Cheese Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 We have 7 years. If Rodger Goodell puts a team on the Moon, I will be livid. Jet lag times a thousand. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/humans-could-live-on-moon-in-this-decade-nasa-official-howard-hu/ Howard Hu, the program manager for the Orion spacecraft onboard the Artemis 1 flight, told the BBC that the agency plans to have humans living on the moon sooner rather than later. "Certainly in this decade, we're going to have people living [on the moon]," he told the BBC. "The durations, you know, depending on how long we'll be on the surface. They'll be living, they'll have habitats and they'll have rovers on the ground. ... So, not only are we able to work in delivering people to the moon, getting people down to the surface of the moon, they still have to have infrastructure." But ultimately, he added, "it's more than living – it's really about science." "We're going to be sending people down to the surface and they're going to be living on that surface and doing science," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of the above. Plus, humans are natural explorers. It's in our DNA. We already live in places that would be uninhabitable without some kind of technology. (The word "technology" means "tools and techniques that enhance human capabilities," so it includes stone-age tech like fire-making, shelter-building, hand axes, spears, etc.) Space is just another frontier to explore. Also, space exploration results in a lot of spin-off technology. A lot of common tech that we take for granted came out as a result of the Apollo program. Finally, and directly applicable to Earth, some of the experiments being run on the ISS are related to finding new drugs that can only be produced in microgravity.

Fleezoid Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 It only makes sense to populate the moon. We need to put toll booths in place so we can start charging those alien SOBs that have been buzzing around our planet and abducting our rednecks for free.

Potential resources on other worlds/moons are FAR more lucrative than the little we have left here. And one of those resources is simply living space. The population isn't getting any smaller. The Moon is going to be the launching point for space travel eventually.

Just imagine if someone spots a giant hunk of gold floating around out there. Probably easier to find in other celestial bodies?

The moon is not a permanent fixture. It is gradually moving away from Earth. It would eventually break free but will get consumed by our sun first. Although I agree we should explore and expand its not because we’re “running out of things” on Earth. It’s because Earth is temporary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
