When do you think the US (or other countries) would colonize on the moon?

[chaseyqurt]

Russia and the US should join forces to colonize other planets.

Well, the US isnt going to the moon, and you may thank our monday president, Obama.

Project Constellation was ment to be a return to the moon, trip to the ISS, trip to mars, and a trip to a near earth astroid.

With the shuttle retiring in 2011, NASA has no manned space flight plans, no plans= NASA GOES AWAY

THEN RUSSIA MOTHERLAND GOES TO THE MOON

what would you really want to there's no benefit as of yet to do it unless just the ability to say we've done it but do you want to be the first of like 30 people alone on a deserted rock living our your life?



I mean if we found a reason to mine it then okay but what resources do we gain from it?

We gain knowledge, and how to go to mars, and colonize on other planets.

monday president?

Way better than that old CRACKER and his bitch.

Not saying Obama is the best but really?

[HellHound]

Russia and US are best candidates though.

[carolcat]

2035-2050, I'd say.

[Ironslug29881]

I think the moon will be colonized on Dec 21, 2012.

Reason being: Dr. Evil will use his "Laser" to destroy all of mankind because no one gave him his "One Billion Dollars."

Russia should create a bridge between itself and Alaska and then we will be a SUPER COUNTRY!

Why don't we link all the continents together with bridges and create a SUPER CONTINENT!
Although... Just linking Europe to America, or Asia to America pretty much links us all up.
Anyway, I don't think it will happen for a fair amount of time.
One being the economies of all the major countries that would be able to even attempt such a feat.
We'd have to be able to get rid of all debt our countries have, and even have plenty more than we need.

We'd then need a suitable reason to go there.
If it's of no benefit to live there, why go there?
If there's no resources up there, then we can only rely on it to be a training thing, in which case, we'd have to defintely be able to go to other planets, namely Mars, they'd have to be worth it to go to, and we'd have to be essentially ready to go there now.
And if it was a training thing for colonization, I'd expect it to be something like the International Space Station.
Defintely international, so we don't have dozens of pointless encampments only slightly used on the moon, for every country that wants to go to another planet.

[Freeze]

Don't leave me guys. :c

[Ladios]

Colonize or put a simple installment there.
The thing is there are no current plans to go to the moon.
Mars would be much better as it has access to all the resources stored in the asteroid belt.

The advantage of the moon is that lower gravity allows for easier construction of large objects such as space stations and shuttles that can get us to Mars.

Yup. Europe, Asia, North America, and South America = Eurasiamerica or something. Idk. Lol.

[Specever]

Isn't there a law that nations can't claim planets/moons/stars as their land.
