What should we do with the moon?

[Fallingwater]

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.

That's because it IS a boring piece of rock that floats around the earth. It's completely inert, it has absolutely nothing worth viewing, taking or doing. When mankind discovered space travel everybody was so captivated by the moon because it was unreachable; once we reached it, and confirmed that there was nothing much on it, interest faded.

What I'd do with it? I'd ignore it, same as I do now.

I dont know. As it is now, the moon is vital to our ecosystem here on earth. Adding mass may throw off our tidal schedule, so mass colonization may be out. Then again harvesting resources from in would decrease its mass, again affecting the earth. I say we leave it as is and admire it when we take that special girl out for a date.

...date to the moon? I'd so do that.

Or blow it up. With a laser cannon.

Or make a piece of toast, and put a crown on it, and call it: THE TOAST KING!

"That's right."

Cookie for reference.

 

[Eatbrainz]

Build and giant prison covering the moons entire surface, thus solving the over populated prison problem on earth. also i would build a mining coloney with a portal to Hell on mars.

 

[GonzoGamer]

Like any good supervillain I would carve my face into it with a giant "laser."
That is unless GI Joe, the Tick, or some other self important dbag gets in the way.

 

[gremily]

We must go back and harvests its cheese!

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Hmm, an interesting topic. I think I'd do two things if I owned the moon:

1. Colonize it as much as possible, trying to set up as many self-sustaining colonies on the moon as possible, while sending up resources to the moon via spaceships every now and then.

2. Harvest it for as many natural resources and micro-organisms as can be found, using half of the resources for the aforementioned colonies and half of them to help meet the world's needs.

dye it purple so the nights sky looks cooler imo

 

[FallenRainbows]

*sings*Chavs on the moon*

Ideally we should colonize it. More land for us to fuck with.

But what if those damn colonists start throwing our tea in they're space harbors?

 

[Triforceformer]

Give the moon to Michael Bay and sit back and watch the chaos unfold.

The moon... Is a transformer?

...That is so awesome I think I just came a little.

 

[Jon Etheridge]

I'd paint a big ass eyeball in the middle of it. That would be creepy.

Then we shall jack the Taxes on Everything to Wanker's Level. 10 dollars for 1 roll of toilet paper will show those dirty peasants, thinking they can just throw stuff around in harbors all willy nilly.

 

[matnatz]

I'd turn it into my secret moon base where I will build an army of sexy ladies and I will then invade earth. You'll all beg for mercy, and I will consider it.

Anchor for space elevator.

 

[Amplify]

I'd drop it on America and raise the golbal IQ average.

I'd recommend destroying the country that teaches people to spell "global" as "golbal."

It was a typo, and didn't spot it in time.



Fine, the common sense average then.

 

[ScarlettRage]

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.

Did you get that out of something? If not then that is very awesome!

No, I was just channelling the spirit of Jack the Ripper.

very, very good point...

i'll help.

but can i write my name on it first?

You help me to fulfil my life long ambitions of penetrating the Moon and you can write your name anywhere you wish.

YES!!!
MAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[titanium turtle]

colonise it and give it to me so that I wouldn't have to take over earth
