Would YOU be a Lunar colonist?

$104 Trillion maybe.

And yes, Moon chics are hot.

 

[jcarcinogen]

I would. Earthlings annoy me.

Im sure Newt would have this guy's vote:

 

[nano1895]

Scenario:

Start up a colony on the moon with RP supporters
Santorum (or newt/romney) wins Presidency.
He starts WWIII with Iran/China/Russia.
Nukes, nukes everywhere.
Technology is destroyed and the Earth is back to middle age technology.
Therefore lose contact with the moon colonies, two separate worlds developing separately ~384,000 kilometers from each other for hundreds of years.
First contact made!
Earthians worship RP supporter descendants as Gods
RP supporter descendants usher in libertarian ideology
Vindication, finally.

I am ok with this.

The Moon is a harsh mistress

I'll be a lunar colonist if we can form our own nation. I wouldn't want to be just another US colony or territory though.

Moon rebellion anyone?

 

[luctor-et-emergo]

And get wiped out by an asteroid or something ??? There's no atmosphere you know.. No nice flashes across the sky, just really bad headaches.
Besides, I dunno if it's the safest place to be in case of war either. Read this story; http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/The_Chinese_Satellite_Killer_999.html

I'd like to visit though, once I've seen enough people go both ways...

I'd love to go to the moon, but Newt wants to spoil the untamed frontier aspect of it by making it a vassal state of the U.S. That would be a big turnoff. The whole thing I find tempting and exciting about space is that it's anarchic.

What Grinch wants is to get to (not one but) two moons.

 

[Danke]

Definitely Not a Poll.

Can I still access RPF there?

 

[Johnny Appleseed]

I already am...

Solar storms and associated Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) can significantly erode the lunar surface according to a new set of computer simulations by NASA scientists. In addition to removing a surprisingly large amount of material from the lunar surface, this could be a major method of atmospheric loss for planets like Mars that are unprotected by a global magnetic field.

"We found that when this massive cloud of plasma strikes the moon, it acts like a sandblaster and easily removes volatile material from the surface," said William Farrell, DREAM team lead at NASA Goddard. "The model predicts 100 to 200 tons of lunar material – the equivalent of 10 dump truck loads – could be stripped off the lunar surface during the typical 2-day passage of a CME."

With solar storms ramping up, HELL NO

Of course.

We'll look after the wife.

[thoughtomator]

if you haven't read "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" you definitely should!

 

[ryanmkeisling]

Of course.

LoL I think the moon might be a drab place.

 

[Pauls' Revere]

Should probably try seasteading first and see how that goes.
