MoonEx Set to Begin Moon Mining in 2017

[Lord Commander Palis]

what you've posted here right now is absolutely brilliant.

You just never know. So be careful with your pick and shovel while up there on the moon.

It costs Space X $5650 per pound so $11,300,00 per ton to put anything into orbit around the Earth. Does anyone understand how many thousands of tons of equipment it takes to run a mining operation? Anything brought back would have to be in the purest form possible. Smelting metals requires tons of coal, limestone, air and lots of electricity.

If you watch the gold mining shows, they process tons of dirt to get a few ounces of gold and that gold has been washed down by millions of years of water erosion.

It will go down over time with the advancement of engine technology

It will still require the same amount of energy to get into Earth orbit. Rocket engines work out to about 62% efficiency because they have to carry the hydrogen fuel and the oxygen to burn it. Same thing coming from the moon. Thy would need to find enough water and use electricity to break it down into hydrogen and oxygen. That would require acres of solar panels and thousands of gallons of water. A nuclear reactor could be built on the moon but I think there is a treaty involved.

I feel bad for all of the people on the moon who will be displaced by this. Thanks Trump.

Relax. Trump has good relations with the moon people. He has many friends. many friends. We've got this great plan. I'm telling you its great. We'll get this whole moon people being displaced nonsense figured out. I figure we'll set them up some nice homes. Some really classy homes. The kids will love it will be great.

Right now the moon is a mess. And they keep sending us their moon rock criminals and moon rapist. It's a mess. Once we get their. We'll move them to their classy house. They're nice. Then we'll move and follow my great plan. I mean trump has great guys on this. The best. The top guys. Its going to be great.

solar energy would work since its constant

If you think corporations go unchecked now wait till we start spreading out in our solar system.

This is inevitable for the human species

Sounds pretty glorious to me

Why do people have this vague anti-business orientation even when business clearly benefits them?

Why is it sad that we would colonize space for-profit?

I literally don't understand

If we exist for another 5 million years there will never be any way we even set foot on most of the planets in our galaxy much less ruin them or deplete their resources -- that entire problem exists because we are trapped on Earth

I think the opposition to for-profit space mining is even more perplexing than the left's fetish for ethnic extinction and pretending men in wigs are female

Do you just like everything that sucks to be ironic? Your dream world is living in a sustainable clay hut in an oregon commune, in a cuckold relationship with a shemale, subject to jail sentences for hate speech? And you're mad about space colonization? What are you? it isn't human

whst part sounds glorious to you

 

[JDragon]

Yea it's too bad it will take profit to get there but that's the way it has always been.

Apollo vs Sojus was not profit but prestige driven though

 

[Lex Bigelow]

Mine that shit.

There will be a one world government I think it is inevitable does not matter weather we see that as bad or not.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Yes in the future when the human race is more civilized we most certainly will have a one world government representing the human race.

Kinda like a Star Trek type world.

 

[AviatorShades]

whst part sounds glorious to you

Spreading across the stars with infinite resources, mining other plants etc?

Perpetual nationalism where if we don't like our governments we can just move to a new planet, forever?

All with unlimited economic opportunity, the potential for unlimited megazillionaires and mass automated labor

Basically a liberal's nightmare. I described the liberal dreamworld above. Living broke in a clay hut being cuckolded by a transvestite and perhaps getting some horrible disease on purpose "just to see what is like".

 

[ShinkanPo]

Only white men set foot on the moon. So racist.

There is a movie about that a black man was sent to the moon so he can be the first black man on the moon

 

[AviatorShades]

That sounds incredibly uncivilized given the potential for abuse and taking the entire species down one narrow evolutionary path -- and you shouldn't take star trek so seriously

This sounds like the ramblings of the insane.

What does perpetual nationalism have to do with anything

lol what are you taking about.

Following human history we will be more civilized as the future progresses

A one world government is needed for large scale space explorations because the resources and cooperation needed will be astronomical.


It cant be done efficiently with current world politics to much sabotuers and wars that threaten to destroy infrastructure.

Do I need to explain everything?

Planetary colonization would mean unlimited territory=unlimited potential for the founding of new nations=humanity not imprisoned by globalism or tied to a single regressive fate
