The moon as a possible energy source? (page 3)

Okram

Will removing large amounts of it's mass affect it's orbit? Or less it's affect on the earths tides?

Elsewhere

A history of things to come...

Put a base on the moon
Private investors place property on the moon
Private citizens live on the moon
Moon becomes "colonized"
Moon declares indipendence from earth
Earth gets pissed off at energy being supplied or not supplied on the whim of the Moonies
War breaks out between the Earth and the Moon.
Moon stops all shipments of H3 to Earth.
Earth invades the Moon.

Who has the right to rape the moon?

Define rape.

This is all a cunning ploy so Halliburton can make more money exploiting the rest of the solar system. At least that's the Democrat

I'm sorry. At first, when i read about this, i too felt joy. Then, first a faint mist, hardly more than a figment of a cloud of doubt drifted in, unnoticed by me. As it built subtly, it suddenly popped into my conscious awareness, and poof, i was back in my 'all politicians are liars/manipulators' mode. I think i'll go see a doctor, or have a drink, or something.

It doesn't really matter anyway. Most people think the Apollo landings were faked. If Fox produced a show about it, they might think the earth is really flat too.

Big Tex

No I'm sorry SS.

I just didn't want this to devolve into I Love Bush/I hate Bush.

I just think the future can be so interesting. It doesn't have to be doom and gloom like the WTS told us. I mean, think of the possibilities of something like can have for humanity. That's all I meant.

I agree. I also think newer and better energy sources are inevitable.

I think it would be great. The only way we're going to establish a permanent presence in space is if there's something to exploit, and I don't mean that in a bad way. Fusion fuel woul be a great start, we get cheap energy and live on the moon, what could be better!

Dearest Gita..........,

I just love how you technological types get your backs up and resort to name calling to intimidate your fellow earth citizens who are looking for alternatives to destructive technology. The bottom line for these kinds of technology is to make as much money as quickly as possible. The earth is in serious trouble already, because of this thinking. Does it really make sense to you to extend this type of thinking outwards to the other planets in our solar system?
