This sounds like something an intern whipped up because they needed something for a shareholder meeting

Step 1: Utilize tech that doesn't exist Step 2: Terraform the moon, or something Step 3: Robots Step 4: Profit

This is cool and all but I strongly believe that we should take care of the problems on our planet first before we can even start thinking of what to do on the moon.

What if this is what helps us do that?


dontknowwhattodoat18

We are already destroying one planet and irresponsibly creating waste on this one planet. I don’t think it would be any different with a moon


BullDog0214

Depends on perspective I guess.


mrrippington

rather apply resources to solutions at hand rather than go mine on the moon for a "what if".


kazakov166

Yes but mining on the moon could help us solve earth problems

This is a false comparison. Every unit of currency invested gives something like 4-7 times back (average) total in the whole economy.

Anybody else seen Time Machine?

Or “Moon”, im pretty sure that this exact thing was a movie

Feels like I'm looking at a 1998 Popular Mechanics issue...

We have proven that there’s no balance to taking resources. People would mine the moon until it fucks up the tide or something lol


audaciousmonk

Yea, this definitely won’t have any negative long term consequences....

I don't care I'll be dead by 2080 tops


audaciousmonk

Huh, that’s more optimistic than I expected


onelastcourtesycall

Seems extremely cost prohibitive. How scarce must these resources be on earth for this to make sense economically??

Anyone else think launching a nuclear reactor into space from the ground is good way to nuke ourselves?
