SpaceX moon city

How about you head up there right now, in a spaceship that can’t possibly return. Bon voyage!

Moon first macht eigentlich in mehreren Perspektiven Sinn. Eine Basis dort , in einem Umfeld mit weniger Gravitation, kann so als Zwischenstation eingerichtet werden. Ist genug nah zu uns, dass logistik nund notfallplanung realistischer ist. Regolith eignet sich zur Betonherstellung.

Ps he will not have built a moon city by 2036

*me looking for the Elon tweet guaranteeing he would reach Mars in the next 5 years, from more than 5 years ago*

A Moon base is faster to build, but difficult. Mars’s thin atmosphere is like a shield against micrometeorites that hit the Moon like bullets. You need thicker walls on the Moon. Lunar dust is like crushed glass—it destroys seals, bearings, and zippers. Martian dust is less destructive to machinery.

Yeah I guess a more accurate way to say it is that to go 100x further it's not realistic to simply scale everything up 100x... to keep things a manageably-sized system, you need exponentially higher performance / efficiencies etc. to achieve those much longer duration missions.

a human presence on the moon COULD be very useful for humanity actually. it's chock full of metals and resources, helium-3 which is a prospect for fusion energy, building rockets and sending it to earth would be easy due to the low gravity and lack of atmosphere, saving our environment from mining

First SpaceX video of the proposed moon city has been released....

Absolutely. How exactly is a lunar colony going to self-growing?

And even that book/movie painted a much rosier picture than the grim reality of trying to survive on Mars. At the time he wrote it, Weir didn't know just how toxic the soil on Mars actually is.

Elmo is (of course!) utterly wrong here. You can launch for Mars any damn time you want to. The most EFFICIENT window is rare, though.

Elon, the moon is a really bad choice, as it opens the door for a return ticket.

Lotta cancer markers with life on the moon.

The powder on the moon is like squadrillions of tiny razor blades. The moon collects a lot space debris (mini asteroids). It's insanely hot or cold. It's being pushed away by the earth by at least an inch a year. Have fun, Musk-rat.

The atmosphere, rather lack of it and the extreme temperatures make Mars incompatible with life.

Where’s the new t-shirt? Occupy Mars (X’d out) Moon

Funny thing is, it might be more impactful if we just fed our poor, healed our sick, and encouraged people to be a bit nicer to one another. But hey that’s just me. I’m sure Moonbase Alphamale will do all those things.

Imagine putting the trillions of dollars of unnecessary space exploration and ridiculous Mars terraforming & habitation BS towards, gee, I don't know, maybe towards helping people here and to save and improve this amazing and already habitable and beautiful planet we're living on!? What a concept!

C'est 3 jours pour aller sur la lune... Même sur ça il est à côté de la plaque !

I mean, "less absurd than a million people on Mars in 20 years" is an incredibly low bar. 😆

Some very Dumb People noticed I said I would build Mars City by 2018 but I never said what calendar.

With the DART mission NASA successfully intercepted an asteroid, causing a significant trajectory change. That could be scaled to stopping a dinosaur killer. Terraforming probably isn’t necessarily for human survival short term, though it would be on the scale of millions to billions of years.

"Informed" or "retained the umpteenth time I was told"?

And building a livable city on the moon is going to cost him a lot more money than he has on hand.

In other words, he still needs a slave labor population. Get breeding, ladies!

Tbh for a given value of moon colony, that might actually be simpler than all-circumstances unsupervised autonomous vehicles

He's a Republican. They hate cities and are afraid of being in cities. And we're supposed to believe he's the authority of what a city should look like on another celestial body.

You know, we really don’t need a huge fuck-up like Elon messing with the Moon. Imagine if that idiot blows it off its orbit! Boom, we all die.

Elon Musk has ALWAYS been an obvious fraud 👇🏼

There's so much in Musk's "thinking" that goes back to his obsessive gameplaying of Wolfenstein... wolfenstein.fandom.com/wiki/Moon_Ba...

this would be a great time for a "nation-builder" game focused on the exploration and buildout of Luna and cislunar space

You’d have to have a death wish to ride on that monstrosity that he’s building in South Texas.

He's hoping to install a poorly-maintained nuclear waste facility on one side so that the Moon can be propelled through a wormhole and his Alphans can meet sexy polymorph women. 🙄

I hope china gets a moon city going just to make him look like an asshole, cause he's never been serious about any of it

Before you get too excited to be on the moon in ten years, remember Musk years are like dog years.

Whoopsy, looks like the people who only just now realized Trump is a fascist are also becoming aware that Elon's entire career is huge snake oil promises that have never and will never be delivered and his only accomplishment is convincing dumbass investors to give him money.

JFC, we're being ruled b y absolute morons.

I worked with a guy who was obsessed with "what was beyond Antarctica" and would just go on about how "they" kept it all quiet. Btw, best way to deal with moon landing deniers? Scoff and say "you think the moon is real?"

Iirc there was starship, the lunar gateway, and the lander that were all supposed to be built by SpaceX for Artemis. I don’t know how much of that plan has since changed… but I don’t think space x is going to successfully build any of this.

colonial expansions were to places rich with resources that people mostly new what to do with and easy to extract. For the colonizing country it was wealth extraction and a place to send the unfavored. Moon is hard nut to crack. For like 1/1M whatever you could do there you could save earth

Just idling think, unless there is some biological threshold between 1/6 G and 1/3 G for some processes, I'm not sure if I can think of a single downside of trying to put a habitat on The Moon compared to Mars. (Still seems like Venus is really the place to go)

Understanding the bare minimum re: orbital trajectories of nearby planets in relation to earth is part of your job, you fucking loser dullard pedophile. God damn, he is such a fucking idiot.

Mars kills all visitors from radiation. Mars is a one-way trip. Need autonomous robots to build subterranean colonies deep below the surface before humans arrive. Decades, if not centuries if not never, from now.

Like can SpaceX launch a rocket without it exploding first before this shit?

Kindly follow me

A living monument to meritocracy being bullshit

That guy is such a moron.

I think that such an approach should also work for a re-entry vehicle that can not provide lift, but I must admit I have not seen any real simulations, only my own experience with Kerbal Space Program 😆

Cocaine can be a mindblower.

Is this another of Musk’s great ideas devised on a cocktail napkin like the Ugly car or the 1/2 moon steering wheel?

There must be more federal contracts money to go to the moon.

SpaceX will never land a human on the moon.

Is self-growing city, like, build everything out of moon rock concrete and tunneling? I don't know how you self-grow when you're 240,000 miles from any construction materials store.

He will still need about 20K human sacrific…I mean “colonists” up there to staff his “colony”. … What, you thought he was gonna start folding his own laundry and cooking his own meals, all of a sudden? 😂

Which happens first, Tesla FSD or SpaceX moon city?

I know JFK basically didn’t give a shit about space in reality, but this speech is one of the few pieces of media that can consistently make me misty eyed youtu.be/WZyRbnpGyzQ

Eu digo ou vocês dizem ? Tem Nordeste em Marte também. E consequentemente alguém vai ter que ser o nordestino marciano 👽. É isso é a famosa a “culpa é das estrelas. “ e não minha então vou me mudar para Marte e funda uma sociedade superior. Que piada e olha que você não é uma macaca mas agir com tal. “A criatura não consegue se afasta da sua natureza, ambos tem que coexistir, se não os dois perece.” Se você não se sente parte dessas macaquices, vá para Marte, e busque ou crie sua sociedade ideal, sem macaquices e sem Nordestino. Eu sei que você consegue és á Pródigo. Daqui da terra estarei torcendo por você. 👍🏾😉

Lol, indeed. But for something like establishing a permanent presence on the moon, reality is, ultimately, pretty important.

The extended consciousness mission was xAI before he folded it in after his porn engine didn’t have enough MAGA contracts to stand alone.
