How's that work again?


There are teleoperated webcams on earth so it's not rocket science.


Actually it is 'rocket science'. That whole 'remote vehicle on the
Moon' thing, you know.

Imagine moving a rover on luna from your home computer. Wouldn't you pay at least 20 bucks a minute for that thrill?


No. Why would I and how are you going to recover development and
boost costs? What happens when some ****** wrecks it trying to jump a
crater?

Do the math. Suppose you could book this thing solid for a year.
You'd get back half a million dollars, which won't even cover the
operating costs.

Are you listning Elon? Let's invent a Lunar presence NOWWWW


Wow, another guy who thinks he's smarter than Elon Musk...
