Lunar Base?

[HamaticBabylon]

Let's call it the Union Aerospace cooperation or UAC for short?

what do you think?

Screw the moon! Let's go to the asteriods! It will be faster, cheaper and easlier to strip mine.

Just don't let any lunatics get a hold of it, lest they divert the asteriods, orbit...

Apparently NASA believes the moon may be rich in He-3, an essential fuel for 'clean' fusion reactors. I think an underground base would be the first step, since an underground base is protected from micrometeor impacts, and, to a greater degree than surface installations, radiation.

though still a frigid minus 58 Fahrenheit (-50 Celsius), give or take a little.

Dosnt metal become both brital and forzen at that temp ?
Iam thinking of continual human use == wrecked base in short time.

and then in 200 years when, the moon is real poor and imigrants are coming to earth , and we can deny them citizenship to earth.

They should use lunar material, rocks, stone as much as possible in the bases construction. It would probably be mostly underground.
