Fly me to the moon.
Gunter L20-Nov-23
Assuming that NASA invited you to be part of the crew that next flies to the moon. Their task is to establish a permanent settlement on the moon.
You would be required to stay on the moon for 12 months, after which time you would be returned safely to earth.
Would you do it?

    Sure, as long as it can be made comfortable, with WiFi and a nice view of Earth... and I get to drive the moon buggy. And I want a briefcase full of money on my return.

      Why not be a bit of fun, as long as I can take my turntable and records and books and my Bogie and Cagney movies etc.

        No, I would not. I am too old, and I like my life like it is.

          No sunshine, rain, fresh air, no "anything" for 12 month I guess it's a big NO....

                                        NO WAY! I don't want to live in a bubble city under the sea either! I've always been very content living where God purposed me to live, on the earth! (Psalm chapter 37)

An additional Negative is that NASA talks of using one of Musk's SpaceX Rockets to get people to the moon. Given Musk's appalling record with Exploding, ooops sorry I should have said Unplanned Disintegration, Disassembly, rockets why would any sane person even think of taking part. Of course if you are Suicidal one of these rockets would be the perfect way to go about it.

Besides I think we have damaged Earth enough and we shouldn't be looking at going any where else because humans will just ruin that too if they haven't already. The moon has heaps of space junk around it and I don't think space needs any more, what if some of the space junk hits Earth? Knocks Earth off it's axis, the world be would be a different. place then.

How much money is being spent on this to many is unnecessary exploration?
