well not the moon obviously.

the dark side of the moon never sees sunlight, so its freezing cold and you cant grow crops.
the other side is always in the sun, so it is too hot and bright and humans cant survive their

antarctica

>the dark side of the moon never sees sunlight

This is really wrong. Please go back to middle school.

>>2620323
ahahah!!

twas me in disguise!

>>2620330
Yeah, sure, make a dumb statement then pretend you were trolling.

>>2620318
antarctica is a bitch because they have a treaty

>>2620339
ahahahaaa!!

lol, why do you think i changed my name to anonymous for my troll??

if i was geninly an idiot, i would leave my EK tag in.

(mostly troll as anon now...people are too aware of EK's capacity for epic trollage...bait is hard to come by. etc etc)

Asteroids. Mine out the volatiles, go to the next one, repeat. Build inhabitable tubes in their cores and spin them. Cheap space habitat.

Move on to the moon, mars, etc. once we have an actual grasp on how to do shit in space.

>>2620350
You are genuinely an idiot because you'd rather troll a thread that would otherwise have had good intellectual potential than participate in it sincerely.

>>2620350
ahahah!!

twas me in disguise!

The moon, obviously, since it's so much closer. Then once we've refined our methods a little we can start building settlements on Mars.

>>2620350
>implying I haven't trolled you at least 3 times

>>2620370
ahahaha! i only have one corner troll image, and i cant post it again until the thread 404's

QED
me =/= you.

>>2620378
lol, were you in the thread where i got pissy about the positive/negative numbers?

>>2620377
Water is a problem there. It's easy to get oxygen from the lunar soil by simply melting it - such devices have already been build, but we would have to import the water to the Moon. Or we could find hydrogen there and make it react with the oxygen that we got from the soil melting.

>>2620386
No, but I wish I was

>people are too aware of EK's capacity for epic trollage
>epic trollage

is there a nigga you just went full newfag image somewhere?

Bring resource rich asteroids to earth sphere
Build colonies at Lagrange points

>>2620390
keep responding
=p

>>2620410
I only say that after I've thoroughly made it clear I was trolling, but someone is persistent enough to 'keep responding'.

It's sort of ironic you know I like to post that.

>>2620405
Just make sure no one starts developing giant space robots.

I started a space colonization website (which can be found at www.space-colonization.com) and group, if you want to join, email me at cinitiator@live.com.
You would be free to voluntarily contribute and communicate with other members, it isn't an obligation at all.

Venus first. It's closest.

Of course, we shouldn't bother with any kind of colonization until we have a reasonable way of getting into space.

Theres a distinct possibility that a singularity type event will make life support considerations irrelevant. That said, there might be minimally modified humans that would want to leave Earth too, but its not clear how useful they would be.

>>2620426
heheheh... i love it when this shit happens.

so nostalgic...

>>2620445
Why would their usefulness matter?

I think we should make a small colony on a planet with higher gravitational pull than earth. Then we'll start up a big breeding project there and allow the kids to physically mature in this colony. When we bring them back to the Earth, their bodies will have adjusted to the higher gravitation, and they'll basically be elite super soldiers.

>>2620465
Or we could just modify them on Earth, which would be a much less-expensive and less-complex operation.

>>2620428
samefag here,
Some of you even liked the Facebook page, but no one bothered to email me and join the project. The participation is completely voluntary. We're also planning to email the policymakers all over the world and inform them of the benefits of space colonization.

My email: cinitiator@live.com

>>2620474
Except that moralfags will hold us back from that for a few more centuries.

>>2620494
"Moralfags" cannot prevent super-soldier projects.

>>2620465

Both the method and the desired result of that plan are completely retarded.

>>2620499
>Implying "super-soldier projects" are worth doing in the first place.

Water is fucking heavy.
Mars already has water.

Lets go for mars first.

>>2620520
I didn't imply that.

>>2620465

The main problem I see here is that the planet with the strongest surface gravity, along with an actual surface to live on, is the Earth.

The stronger gravity would also have the side-effect of making all your soldiers midgets.

>>2620548
So all we need is to make them prospectors on their home planet and encourage them to grow beards, and we'll have created space dwarves.

>>2620388
There is water on the moon. It has to be mined and melted, and that is a power-intensive process, but it should be possible to maintain water supplies independently. Ultimately, though, a small scale colony cannot be truly independent, since modern technology requires materials that will not be available locally no matter what the location.

>>2620630
Such as?

such as?

hollow asteroids
