She’s the one who ultimately saddled us with Obama. She works it out with the hubby, and Obama never makes it to the Senate.

I could see a moon colony being an outstanding retirement home for seniors and other people with limited mobility. The 1/6 gravity would significantly reduce mortality from hip and pelvic fractures and then the low gravity would be a boon for paraplegics and amputees.

Just saying.

None of you guys gets it. Obama sez that the purpose of NATO is to fund Islam.

Another big thrill from having such a colony would be that the poor stiffs in SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence), listening to headphones and staring at video screens would finally be able to monitor radio/TV signals from an actual extra-terresrial source.......after what; 40 years or more? Because they’re not likely to hear any from anywhere else./Sarc.

I actually don't see a conflict. I'm no lawyer but I can weasel profit from beneath that language. Everyone would benefit from more resources, raw materials and pharms

of course I didn't read the article so this may be in there but - Earth orbit platforms, habitats and service stations are necessary to build and sustain a presence on the moon. Carrying everything from A to B would not work.

Hey, I think you're onto something there.

Since Allah is the Moon god, maybe the Saudis will contribute in a meaningful way. They can build a Moon mosque in which to store ray guns and lasers...and foment hatred of Space Jews.

I’d rather my taxes first went to find a cancer cure. After that go to the moon.

That was just as much his fault...plus she’s super hot.

No No No, we need to help establish a colony of Jewish people on the moon, that way whenever those knuckheaded savages that worship the moon look up at the moon the bile in their tummies starts burning a hole in their organs because there won’t be a damn thing they can do about it and since the Jewish folks were the first there they would have no “right to return” to even claim that they should be taking over the moon either. (won’t stop them from trying).

So when the ROPers get pissed and start bombing space shuttles and port the Jews on the moon can send them a few extra “kabba stones” down on their heads at 24,000mph.

[ How about this one? ]

She is somewhat indirectly responsible for Obama’s rise to power....

GUILTY

The moon is a racist planet. When is the last time anyone has seen a moon man of color? I mean other than orange or purple.

On the moon one solar flare while you aren't under cover and you are at a lethal dose in minutes.

How long does it take for the typical solar flare to arrive? Quite a few hours, no?

The cure for cancer is not a matter of money...but of time, hard work, ingenuity and good fortune.

So we ought to sit here on this single planet, bein fruitful and multiplying over and over and over all the rest of eternity and make no attempt to colonize the worlds around us, huh?

Quite the plan!

Sound like a liberal

< liberal wheeze > But we can't afford to go to the moon! We have too many problems here on Earth to take care of first!! < /liberal wheeze>

Yep,that's right, you actually figured out something correctly - spend your own money on your own pipe dreams liberal. Liberals like you, 0bama, Jessie Jacksin etc. all want to spend someone ELSE's money on their silly ideas. Colonize space to your heart's delight, but spend your own money to do it. BTW I think of people like you when I read this column by Thomas Sowell column

The real liberal whine is "I wanna spend tax dollars on ridiculous things because I think they're cool." Something you and your immature spoiled whiny fellow space kadets come out with on every thread that mentions space. Did any of you actually graduate from high school? The actual depth of your ignorance is astonishing, None of you have a clue about physics, chemistry and most of all economics.

come back when you get a clue, or better still don't come back at all I get bored arguing with arrogant ignormauses who are too stupid to realize who totally clueless they are,

Thanks RoosterRedux. It’s an “extra, extra” ping to the APoD list et al.
