What should we do with the moon?

[iblis666]

Id create giant domes that would cover most of the surface using mainly materials that i extracted from the moon, while the rest of the surface would be ship parking and manufacturing plants. All of this is of course just a dream until we have the space elevators built using carbon nanotubes.

 

[Lord Thodin]

Id turn that ***** into a space ship to go see other planets when ours gets FUBAR. Everyone important can come with me

It's been over 40 years since we landed on the moon on July 20th, 1969, and in that time, the moon has transformed in the public eye from a glorious glowing entity to just another piece of rock that floats around the earth.

Today, the moon just sits there, doing absolutely nothing.

Imagine, if you would, that you just bought the moon, if you could. What would you do with it?

Live on it?
Colonize it?
Eat it?

..........

In short, if you had the power, what would YOU do with the moon? Remember, you can do ANYTHING with it.

[small]The moon is bored. Do something with it.[/small]​

I would terraform and make it habitable. Then try to create a sub-moon if there is such a thing
We've still got our eyes on you moon!

[small]There, I made the Unskippable reference so you don't have to [/small]

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

One must consider these three points:

1. Can I have sex with it?
2. Can I eat it?
3. If I can't shag it or eat it, then why should I tolerate it's existence?

I'll get the missiles ready.

There are 3 action categories in this world, not two:

1.Mate with.
2.Eat.
3.Rocks.

So long as you remember which is which you'll never have any struggle in life.

OT:I already have a base of operations deep under its surface. Attack the moon, and I shall be forced to retaliate.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

Install a bouncy castle on it. Yeah, Zero gravity bouncy castles would be epic lulz!!

Also it would make an awesome venue for the Olympics.

 

[the1ultimate]

We should get it a friend. Or perhaps a little satellite of it's very own.

Yes, we could call it the noom.

 

[The Rockerfly]

Use as a giant prison

 

[The Hairminator]

Turn it into a giant marshmallow and end world hunger.

 

[Vern]

Blow it up. We walked on walked on the moon, did a pushup on the moon, ate an egg on the moon. What more can you do with it?

That or etch the letters CHA into it.

 

[Jirlond]

Nothing the moon is required to generate waves and waves are essential to our eco system and the eco systems of lots of species.

They want to crack the moon open with a nuke to see if there is water there. I personally would have one big party on it and then never go near it again!

 

[MajoraPersona]

I certainly wouldn't sent it on a collision course with the nearest planet.

 

[Sallix]

Draw a smiley face on one half, and a sad face on the other!

 

[SnowCold]

Paint a gaint camara lense/eye ball, and have every streets in the world have gaint speakers high in the sky say : "I'm watching you..." once every hour when the moon in up.

 

[Fairee]

I'd build some kinda hotel up there, and then get mates dressed as aliens to wander around outside and freak people out. It'd be fun, all the customers saying, But NASA said there's no aliens on the Moon......

 

[dietpeachsnapple]

Sell it for advertising space.

 

[notsosavagemessiah]

I believe the moon would be greatly improved with an oil pipeline. but seriously, i'd blow it the fuck up. Look at it, just sitting there, controlling tides, helping to foster the procreation of jelly fish. It's subverting our planet and we don't even know it. Better to destroy it now then to let the squids, octopi, and jellies start walking all over us.

 

[Supraliminal]

Apparently the moon contains lots of Helium-3 which is a rare energy source. So in short I'd mine the moon and become even more filthy rich.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-3

Step 0. Get funding from Riched Brandson and other crazy rich persons.
Step 1. Set up independent and self-sufficient base on (or over) the moon.(With Earth like gravity for personnel)
Step 2. Build super laser and declare independence from all earth nations.
Step 3. Then sell helium-3 back to earth at premium prices.
Step 4. Offer side facing earth for advertising. (make even more money)
Step 5. Milk the earth dry of money, skilled persons, and high tech weapons.
Step 6. Take over Mars. (Slowly buy out Earth as well)

You were doing fine till the third one.

The amount of Helium-3 in the moon is sufficient to power up the Earth for hundreds of thousands of years. It's basically free fusion energy and it should be free for the consumers/people of earth too.
Milking the earth dry just doesn't fit my morale.

Free fusion ForTahWin.

 

[El Poncho]

We can dump our carbon dioxide produce by factorys and other things into containers then send it to the moon. I might write something in giant letters on the moon... hmm what to write?

 

[T-Bone24]

Crash it into Mars, just to show those alien bastards who's boss.

 

[Mr Companion]

Definitely colonise, Imagine looking up from earth at a blue moon.
If we can get enough water up there that is, since from that we could get everything we need to create an atmosphere and eco system. Unfortunately since the moon is so small its gravity is quite weak, this could case many problems. Also since the moon is occasionally closer to the sun than earth (through orbit) The weather patterns would be completely mad. Not that this would be a problem since no doubt an atmosphere on the moon would not be able to stay long (due to previously mentioned gravity problems) and would merely gravitate back to earth anyway.

Ooops I might have just sucked the fun out of this thread a little, what I meant to say was-

Lets make really pretty patterns on its surface so that when we look up at the night sky we can marvel at how gaudy and degrading humanity is-

Damn I did it again! ill stop now before it gets worse.
