Why don't we build a self sustaining moon base just incase some life ending event happens on earth?

>> No.3859182

because lack of funds.

a moon base would be cool. i'm not against it, it just isn't feasible.

>> No.3859208

It is possible to do all that, but by the time that "some life ending event" happens, we will have times better technology.

Because people don't see it as necessary. Capitalism, ho. It may would happen if we'd spend more money in science than new cars or new ways to fuck each other without making a babby etc... you already know, our world is a big place of idiots.

Nukes would take days to get to the moon, and during this time the base could be easily displaced to another location on the moon where it isn't threatened.

That pretty much sums it up. Humans were only so visionary. But the leap to a space-faring civilization is proving to be impossible. We're just too simian; we'd rather hurl sharp stones at each other on earth.

my dad is the world's leading expert on moon bases. he says no one cares about them any more. also mars would be much better suited for survival of lots of humans

Mars is to fucking far away. A moon base would just be a good off world place for humanity in time of disaster.

>> No.3859382

Your dad is an expert on being fucking stupid. Mars? You're talking about yet another DEEP GRAVITY WELL.

O'Neill showed quite clearly that planetary surfaces are poor places for an expanding technological civilization to be.

And a lunar manufacturing facility is UTTERLY NECESSARY for all construction going on in Cislunar space. All spacecraft must be created from those resources; all spacecraft journeying away from Earth and Luna must be made from the iron and aluminum and silicon in the lunar regolith.
