The moon

[HumpDayHoratio]

Yeah, but what kind of cheese? American?

Of course!

Braybot wants to discuss world hunger in this moon thread. You want to discuss nothing. I stretch a fresh canvas and load a pallet with oils and you draw stick men and penises. Lol.

Even when you have a discussion topic, you fail to follow through. What about the moon does not follow the physics and probability of the natural world?

 

[Saint_Ann]

and how would he do that? Whats your plan?

Every person on earth gets $83.80, their share of Musk's fortune.

So I'm doing it wrong?

Third time - What about the moon does not follow the physics and probability of the natural world?

You're being a troll. Why would anyone here want to have a discussion with you? You keep telling me I can't read. That I'm dumb. That I'm doing it wrong. You're too one dimensional. Geez.

Got it.
Have fun not discussing your thread topic.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

We’ve known what was up on the moon since the 20’s…

Ah, now I've gone and hurt your feelings.

No, that's silly. Musk pays for roads to be built and for haulage companies to transport the food from where it is plentiful to where people are starving. The rich people don't need $83.80 even though MAGAts would see it as their entitlement.

That's what everyone would get if you wiped Musk out. You want to skip half the population, make it an even 165 bucks. Will that fix your problem? Or did you want to hook Musk up to the milkers and keep draining him dry?

World hunger is logistics, infrastructure, governance, poverty and conflict problems, not a money problem.

Only completely mentally incompetent people think just throwing money at a problem solves it.

You want to hear something really interesting?

There's a small section of land between Egypt and Sudan called Bir Tawil. No one claims it as theirs. It sits there with no government and is not recognized by any governing body as a country.

It around 100 miles inland from the Red Sea on Africa's east coast. That's close enough to run an underground dual pipeline along the border for cooling water for a nuclear power plant and return it to the ocean. A nuclear plant run/owned/operated by the US.

The purpose of this plant would be multifold:

To provide jobs that require a higher education than herding goats.
To provide permanent infrastructure uncontrolled by either Islamic or tribal warlord/terrorist interests.
To provide energy to a continent lacking in sufficient energy to lift itself from world poverty status.
To create the beginnings of an infrastructure intended to foster economic change and solve some of the ongoing rampant hunger problem in Africa.

And more.

Bir Tawil sits there unclaimed and ready to begin Africa's journey into the future and no one cares. They're not interested in tossing money at it or using it to solve major problems. So the issue is neither money nor logistics, infrastructure, governance, poverty and conflict.

The issue is that no one has figured out how to profit from beneficence.

You following any of this moon stuff? I think Musk, is it Musk, is gonna crash a rocket into the surface and listen carefully to see if the moon is a hollow spaceship or something? Or was that a movie,? Anyway, if it goes bong or boing, it's not what we thought it is/was.

This landing of humans on the Moon may make an interesting publicity stunt, but for every spaceship carrying a human being scientists could afford dozens of missions that would let us learn more about the Solar System. That knowledge, in turn, both about the planets and about developing the rockets themselves, would get us to space colonies or Martian colonies or whatever much faster and more safely in the long run.

Like what?

If you want a discussion, start a discussion.
Randomly mentioning Musk and the moon is not.
Perhaps discuss something about what.Musk is doing or why you find it interesting.

Elon musk decided going to Mars is too hard. He wants to build a self-sufficient moon base instead.

Which is also never going to happen.

The news I've heard is that he's slamming a rocket into the moon and it will be visible here on Earth pretty well.

We should have had a base there a long time ago.

Though I think it would end up a lot like "For All Mankind" with a constant fight between nations and private corps.

Unless it already is a moon base.

Progress on habitat technology and moon base infrastructure construction techniques has come a long way - but “launch to moon landing - and back” (much less “launch to Mars landing - and back”) technology is still wholly inadequate for such an endeavor. Especially when one considers the number of launches and the amount of personnel and matériels required to pull off such ambitious endeavors.



Maybe focus on creating a sustainable human society on earth first - and allow technology to advance to the point where such endeavors like a moon base & Mars colonization are feasible…



We. Told. Them. So.

Where exactly do you get the notion you are the authority on such things?

"Elon Musk’s SpaceX has targeted an ultimate future rate of 10,000 launches per year (averaging roughly 168 launches per week or one launch every hour) within five to six years. Current practical weekly maximums sit around 3 to 4 launches per week based on active Falcon 9 and operational cadences."

Elon Musk planned on selling a fuckton of Cybertrucks as well…

Aw hell, somebody forgot to turn the lights off on the moonbase again.

8.9 million vehicles sold isn't too shabby and he planned on launching 12500 starlink satellites and did it. Why do you hate Musk? Is it a democrat thing? That's too bad because he's probably one of the most famous people on the planet.

Tesla has faced significant financial losses due to the Cybertruck, with free cash flow swinging to negative $1.09 billion and the stock experiencing a steep decline following disappointing sales and earnings reports. The Cybertruck's sales have been described as the steepest decline of any U.S. EV nameplate, contributing to a broader financial struggle for the company.
