no doubt the moon station will be fully equiped with nuclear
weapons, to strike down upon the enemies!

This links back when they were going to build a space
station which could be equipped with nuclear weapons so they
could fire them to any point in the earth

actually, how can we have a moon base?

isnt there some international treaty that says the moon cant
belong to anyone?

but think of the dangers if someone controlled the moon!

they could post really big advertisements... "Ziplock backs,
keeping the moon in orbit!" or something.

Not unless you want to call me "Cherry Carlton" (instead of
"Ceri Charlton") in a futile attempt to wind me up, thinking
I've never heard it before :)

Seriously, it's pronounced the same as the English/American
name "Kerry".

pronounced "ke-re"
"ke" as in "kellogs"
and "re" as in "retard"

reach every moon and planet first....and claim ownership of
them. pretty soon the whole solar system will be full of
americans. :(

there is some guy who claims he owns the moon. he sells
pieces for $19.95 per acre and so far he has sold over $2
million acres. Basically he has found a total scam and
become ludicrously rich.

Not surprisingly he is an American

transportation will be to create a huge elevator into the
outer regions of the atmosphere and then deploy payloads
into space for a fraction of the cost...that puts a whole

why would we put nuclear missles on the moon when it would
take QUITE A WHILE for them to get back to the earth

we have plenty of ICBM technology there, chief, do some
research.

acrid milk hall, and I suppose satellites and the space
station are "fucking stupid idea" as well?

Please care to tune your opinion about the information you
know about future technologies and attempted space travel.

Maybe you fail to see the big picture, or any picture for
that matter judging by the context of your post.

If we setup a space station we would have MUCH better access
to large scale telescopes on mars without the atmosphere
blocking the view.

There would be many applications for a base on the moon, but
apparently you are a mindless drone who never thinks outside
the box.

Good day sir, go live about your lives

dont you dare speak to me like that elusive.
im not writing off space travel/exploration as a whole. i
realise it has broken ground in many areas which has in turn
allowed technical advances applied in everyday life.

but its incredibly expensive, this is why it was abandonned
in the first place.

in a world where the margin between rich and poor is ever
widening. where money seems too scarce to use on improving
the quality of life for millions.. how exactly can you
justify to the common man the benefits of a moon station
within their lifetime? or their childrens lifetime for that
matter.

im all for progress. but it seems all to easy to look
outside of this world & forward to a etter future on these
things.. we're not going to get there if we don't apply some
care and attention to the state of our societies and the
world we live in.

im as impressed as the next man by the wonders of space
missions. but lets not over-romanticise them.. nor neglect
our more immediate problems.

its not about 'thinking outside the box'.. its about being
fucking realistic.

it'll probably be an international effort, soas there isn't
one nation controlling the thing... kinda like the
spacestation, cept people have kinda lost interest in the
spacestation, and it looks like if things don't change it
may just be forgotten.

but, yeah, like elusive said. there's hardly any atmosphere
on the moon, so the telescopic view would be orders of
magnitude better than anything we can get on earth. not to
mention, if we put it on the dark side of the moon, there'll
be no light pollution from the sun, so it'll be all the more
better.

plus, the gravity is so much weaker it'll be tons easier
(read: cheaper) to launch exploration from the old moon
unit.

in summary, i think it's good.

the US should think more about other things, like how their
4% of the population accounts for 20% of the worlds polution
and refuses to do anything to help reduce it. Earth should
be priority, not mars.
