I wonder how the moons atmosphere has changed after all these years?
DONT LAUGH it had a thin atmosphere of apollo lander engine exhaust.
I wonder if any of it is still there?


Or my favorite, looking for water on the Moon.

(sarcasm alert)
Hey, maybe then we should start looking for..ah..well
damn, I can't think of an analogy as stupid as
looking for water on the freaking Moon.

Rocks from Jupiter maybe?
Building castles in the middle of a swamp?

There MIGHT be water, in the bottoms of permanetely dark and frozen
craters.

I understand the reasoning, that finding even traces might help
a colony be more affordable. But the data should be highly
suspect as those experiments were clearly politically motivated
in order to justify The Vision.

Large scale mining operations on the Moon would be
optimistically 50 years away. No one could possibly
predict what the societal, political or technological issues
would be t h a t f a r o u t. No politician could possibly
make an expensive promise now that has any chance
of being kept by every administration until then.

Politicians rarely enough can keep their own promises.
The idea didn't even pass a laugh test.

Our very existence and future must clearly be at stake
for such things to have a chance. ( please see below)

War Without Oil: A Catalyst For True Transformation

"Complicating the matter is a lack of professional consensus on
the actual expected date of global peak oil production, with
credible organizations such a ExxonMobil predicting that
the non-OPEC Hubbert's Peak will arrive within 5 years
and the U.S. Government claiming the planet's absolute peak
will occur somewhere around 2037"

Social Security has been kept for that long.
