I don't know, if you have time and robots, you could dig large holes and if you can make some kind of concrete out of regolith that might do the trick. It'll take years of constant effort that no human could do and involves tech we haven't invented yet, but tech we hadn't invented yet in 1960 actually got us to the moon.

My point is it will take a long, long time if it can be done at all and it cannot be done by humans working on the moon

You have to create fuel out of it, so you will have to store H2 and O2 at some point. That will take massive tanks if you are going to store for more than a few hours, it'll bleed out of smaller tanks. And it will take a long time and significant infrastructure to create that fuel, you don't have a lot of power generation any solar panels (which apparently you will need vast fields of) will have to be launched from Earth, installed and maintained. Temperatures on the moon reach 250F/120C, so you'll need vast amounts of insulation.

How exactly would launching from the moon make it easier to launch to Mars? Everything that you put on the moon had already been launched from Earth. And in particular, how would having to land on another planetary body, one not far from Earth with it's own gravity and much faster revolution period, make a trip to Mars faster?

Assuming you can create fuel on the moon, where do you store it?

Assuming your scenario works, a connecting flight spaceport on the moon, it would still be better to use to robots. From the point of view of mass regularly required to be sent from earth to keep people alivee

Also: if you have the technology to do manned flight to the outer solar system, and why you would I can't fathom, it's a 100x more difficult problem than going to the moon, with far less payoff, you likely have the technology to bypass the extra gravity well as a needless waste.

The desire to live on the moon is no more that romanticism

There's next to nothing there aside from iron, silicon and magnesium. Any human who lives there will have, at best, the quality of a life of a submarine crewman. You may be able to find enough resources to support a small number of people, but their lives are going to suck and more than likely will never be able to return home due to the deterioration of their bones and musculature. And that's only the things we already know about, no one knows what the long term affect of exposure to the lunar soli will do to people (and machines).

There is nothing to do there that is worth the horrible lives these people will lead that could not more easily be done by robots

>It’s actually a decent analogy.

It's a freaking dumb analogy. What if Columbus went to America and it was uninhabited, had no food, water or air to breathe? Would anyone have returned?

Going to the moon is a science experiment, large numbers of people will never live there

300k were intercepted at the border after coming through Honduras. Biden revoked their exception to immigration limits in January because of the wave

just for political events?

might as well legalize prostitution too

>Rep. Thomas Peterson, R-Brigham City, said at an earlier committee hearing. “These are substantive investments; communities make it. Golf is a significant driving force in our community. It seems like we are publicly shaming them.”

Really, what could possibly shame them about it?

Bullshit headline

There is 0 evidence aliens exist, we just assume a very high probability based on our limited understanding of our world and life on it

This is going to damage Russia's war effort

Bibi changing the tune a bit. Seems unexpected

And grab a shovel

"There's no evidence for it but..." seems to be the constant statements in that piece, so wild guess pretty well fits

Yeah, made a wild guess and called it logic

Because causing annoyances in US civilian air travel doesn't affect the military all that much

Hanlon's Razor

scenesters in germany are way different

Um, Bullshit?
