My moon base will have a great supply of legos.

Here’s a pic of some 4th graders with their Moon Base.

PROS: LARGE CENTRAL AREA FOR GATHERING/DRINKING MOON BEER

CONS: I THINK THAT LARGE BOTTLE IN THE RIGHT HAND CORNER IS WHERE MOON BASE PEOPLES ARE SUPPOSE TO PEE.

i want my own dark blue spacesuit

“The fear is that the Moon, which is now viewed as a means to get beyond the Moon, will become its own destination, for hundreds of years,” he said. “The easy way to go to the Moon is the hard way to go to Mars.”

OH NO DO NOT INVEST IN MOON TOURISM.

SO CLASSIC!

Really? I think the idea for MOON BASE is a dud. Kind of a waste of money. I could get behind MARS BASE, though.

juggs magazine

yay moon base

the problem with a mars base is that it takes two years to get there, at which point the astronauts’ hips will have the thickness of a pigeon wing and snap off the second they enter martian gravity

I’d be more concerned w/ the astronauts killing each other after having to stare at their other stupid, lying faces for two years straight.

I would be SO into spending my retirement on a moon base. make it so.

anything to get off this expiring planet in the next 20 years. But Altair V is nicer (post-Krell).

Chinese are gunna beat us there, first

whaddayamean? we were already there first! (also Morbs = my sentiments exactly)

when the time comes, how do i make sure i’m not on the ship that they’re going to send into the sun?

I’d say look at the destination scroll above the window.

“when the time comes, how do i make sure i’m not on the ship that they’re going to send into the sun?”

take a good look at yr fellow passengers...?

^^^^ This is the most convincing argument for establish a moon colony I’ve yet seen.

Yeah and see I’d go to the moon to ESCAPE bellhop monkeys, but that’s just me.

TS: Clavius moon base from 2001 vs. Moonbase Alpha from Space: 1999

vs. Moons over My Hammy

WITH HASH BROWNS PLS

classic

also, moon base = classic

i would have base made out of superstrong clear plastic so it would feel like you were always floating, floating above the earth

i would also have ham there

I’m all for the moonbase, but it’ll only be staffed by military people in the end.

and Richard Branson

(altho I really wish lefties/non-military people were more interested in getting into space, rather than just absent-mindedly conceding the future of the species to war-mongering bureaucrats)

shakey, tcs and other libertarian/gonzo-capital type sites are nuts over private space exploration.

you don’t know me very well if you think I’m libertarian or “gonzo-capital” (whatever that means)

how well do i know you if i think you’re illiterate?

I just want off this planet, soon as we can up enough infrastructure to have colonies on Jupiter’s moons w/ supply runs to the asteroid belt.

Stephen Hawking is right.

Also, we need FTL drives, or else the cylons is gunna find us.

Hawking is so annoying, even when he’s right.

Moon base = Classic. This is all predicated on civilization not destroying itself in the next 200 years. But, this is a totally necessary step toward civilizing another planet. It’s like there’s another New World out there, and there’s islands all the way there that we can establish bases on. Expensive, and we’ll never see the benefits in our lifetime, but necessary.

We can’t have a moon base, it’s already inhabited!

and Vote Fraud on the Moon Base

CLASSIC. You can hang out with miserable folks in weird suits, eat lots of cheese...

We are talking about France, right?

I really wish lefties/non-military people were more interested in getting into space

moooooooooooon

BOOTS!

Stephen Hawking utterly OffTM. Not that we shouldn’t go to the moon or mars, but the idea that once we have bases there the human race is saved is ridiculous. For one thing the chances of us making the earth UTTERLY UNINHABITABLE for human life are pretty slim.

And as for extra-solar planets—c’mon. There isn’t any proof that an FTL drive is even possible (though it breaks my heart to think it)—let alone feasible within the next x hundred years.

a totally necessary step toward civilizing another planet lol think we should totally start w/ our own planet first lol

Who will be the first band to play the moon? Please don’t let it be Sigur Ros.

Didn’t Blur send a song to Mars? They seem to be the most experienced at this kind of thing.

U2

Who will be the first person to sing “Everybody’s Gone to the Moon”, on teh moon?

Jonathan King, hopefully.

just think of the moon as a “sub-board”

xposts: MOON D)))

The more colonies we have, the odds of them all simultaneously meeting an apocalypse are reduced. Ergo, RACE SAVED

ie, lotsa people will be ready to leave before we make Earth UTTERLY UNINHABITABLE

(also, my most spacefaring-eager friend ain’t going til he hears how fucking in space is accomplished)

Anyway, we’ve been on the moon since the 50s.

I believe the guys were there before the Cardigans

Sting also must have worked that out by now.

HA HA WATER ON MARS ALL YOU MOON BASERS LOSE
