If we wanted to live there: Bring water If we wanted to grow things there: No soil silly --- End quote --- Hey, water is heavy, so it takes more fuel and energy to transport water up there. And the more fuel they use, the more smoke is produced. And the more smoke it produces, the faster global warming comes. And when mass global warming comes... Lets just say I don't want to be in California at that time. EDIT: This is what the scientists think: "Water in terms of exploration is very important," Colaprete said. "Even if we don't go back to the moon, it is a principle resource throughout the solar system. On Mars and beyond. The old Mars mantra was 'follow the water.' And really, that extends in my mind through the entire solar system and the entire universe. And so really, LRO and LCROSS are the first directed, focused steps in that direction on the moon." |

Then again, if we did get farming working, we wouldn't need the water for that. :cookieMonster: |

Building a greenhouse on the moon would require its own rocket. and i don't think anybody wants to go up to the moon just to build a glass house. --- Quote from: Conan on November 13, 2009, 10:32:31 PM ---And when mass global warming comes... --- End quote --- Well it's likely that it won't affect my lifetime. On a similar topic: Government. Caring about today, not giving a stuff about tomorrow. --- Quote from: Marcem on November 13, 2009, 10:33:08 PM --- What happens when that's gone? --- End quote --- Again, not in my lifetime, don't care :P |
