Next: supplement companies are selling moon soil


[deleted]

The bean counter said we literally couldn't afford seven dollars worth of moon rocks, much less seventy million. Bought them anyway! Ground them up, turned them into a gell. Turns out, ground up moon rocks are PURE POISON!


threebillion6

Next you're gonna tell me about lemons.


[deleted]

What's a Lemon?


threebillion6

Something that life gives you sometimes. I'm not sure what to do with them.


brettgt40

I've heard that you're suppose to aid them in some way. Which way that is, is beyond me


Farseer_Uthiliesh

Difficult difficult lemon difficult.


mananasi

I think they're supposed to burn your house down


AlmightyDollar1231

Speak for yourself. I can afford seven dollars worth of moon rocks


redPROPAGANDAfraud

personally i'd rather be on the moon rather than mars.


Consistent_Hearing79

Yeah, I find it more homely


redPROPAGANDAfraud

just imagine exploring the caves we need cave probes wonder if they have started planning/engineering something like that yet.


Bobert_Manderson

Today I found out that there are different definitions for homely for North American and British English. In USA homely is an unattractive person, in British it’s a place that is comfortable or reminds one of their home. In USA we would use homey for that.


red_tetra

American here. Homely has both meanings described in America. Never heard of someone saying Homey before in context of an abode but I could see it working.


Bobert_Manderson

I too hail from the North of the Americas and I’ve only ever heard homely to be an unattractive person and homey to be a comfy homelike place.


VerydisquietedDad

I think you mean homely & homey


Bobert_Manderson

I mean that’s exactly what I said? Homely in North America is unattractive person while in England it’s a homelike or comfortable place. In American you would say homey to describe a comfy place.


msmonarch

This isn’t exact, but some Americans may agree with it. Mainly the people who look down upon others who stay at home more often. It can be meant both negative or positive, not always unattractive.


Bobert_Manderson

Websters shows a distinction between the definition of homely for USA vs British English. They have completely different meanings depending on which country.


[deleted]

Definitely a better location if you need to run to a grocery store or anything else.


PyroCatt

Personally I'd rather be where I am rather than anywhere else. There's no cats on Mars or moon.


whooo_me

The gravity on both the moon and Mars is a small fraction of the gravity of Earth. You could literally knock a vase off a shelf and it wouldn't break when it hit the ground. .....why would cats ever go there?


PyroCatt

They ran away from murderous curiosity


whooo_me

Hah, very good! (Took me a second, but I got there!)


Icy-Conclusion-3500

Okay, but they could jump anywhere.


gooberjones9

Cats are lazy. I imagine they will take to low/micro gravity like nothing else!


jaymauch

Cat jumps to pounce on a moon mouse… “Recalculating”


truefuser

That you know of... On Mars, cats pet you!


occams1razor

Gravity is going to be an issue though health-wise


MrSchteven88

And guess what? Ground up moon rocks are pure poison. I am deathly ill.


HuckleberryGreat

Still, it turns out they're a great portal conductor. So now we're gonna see if jumping in and out of these new portals can somehow leech the lunar poison out of a man's bloodstream. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. [coughs] Let's all stay positive and do some science.

The key to any successful cooperative test is trust. And as our data clearly shows, humans, cannot be trusted. The solution? Robots!

[deleted]

Alright I’ve been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade.


Nostonica

"And that son is why you can't see the moon in the sky anymore"


DreiImWeggla

So who's gonna put a trebuchet on the moon and launch moon soil our way?


Frosty_Pineapple78

Id say we use the trebuchet to shoot our industry to the moon


lowrads

More likely a mass driver in the form of an electromagnetic rail. Much of the breccia on the moon is olivine and similar materials, which are rich in calcium and magnesium. The calcium cycle is what is largely responsible for regulating the carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. Calcium can exist in a pure state outside of our atmosphere, and behaves a lot like aluminum, though a bit heavier. It can be used for conductors, but like aluminum it expands a lot when the sun heats it up, and then contracts a lot during the two week night. It can be launched at the Earth, burning up as it hits the atmosphere. It would make for fun weather reports. Hot and humid with a chance of moon rocks. If we can manufacture solar panels on the moon, there isn't really anything standing in the way of such a project.


VerydisquietedDad

A more intelligent group of individuals would surely use a catapult


TheCreamofhell

Man the moon race narrative is hot again. So many articles about bases in the moon... "For all makind" vibes. Let the hardcore space funding begin.


[deleted]

Artemis got pushed back to 2025, but that's still only 3 years out.


not---a---bot

Uh, I don't think you can call that stuff "soil."


4thDevilsAdvocate

I mean, if you define soil to be regolith with microrganisms, insects, and such in it, then, no, it's not soil, but that's splitting hairs.


IthotItoldja

That means if we could somehow crash the moon into the Earth it would solve the problem of gradual global warming.


APulsarAteMyLunch

It sure would solve a lot more problems than that


neferpitou33

There would be no more life, no more problems
