Mining what? And low gravity construction for what? Believe you me, I'd like to see mankind settle the solar system, but there ain't much happening on the moon. Now, if you were to say those same things about asteroid mining, there's a future there. Because of $$$$$.

We'll get back to the moon someday. Just wait until some loving billionaire obsessed with Star Trek wants to have his dream wedding. I can't wait for the Offbeat Bride wedding where they use Lego centerpieces and hire their celebrant to read like the priest from the Princess Bride for their low-grav Moondance wedding.

If you think about it it's too bad the CIA killed Stanley Kubrick because he was going to divulge the details about how he faked the moon landing.

"one regret we had from our moon wedding was that my aunt evelyn, and indeed everyone except for us, was unable to attend due to health concerns involved with space travel. anyway, here's a video of bill and i exchanging triforce rings on the spot where armstrong first exited the lander."

Frequent trips to the Moon may also open up the lunar tourism industry, as passengers travel along with canisters of Helium-3 destined for use in fusion reactions back on Earth. http://io9.com/5908499/could-helium-3-really-solve-earths-energy-problems

Of all the conspiracy theories out there I kind of want the 'fake moon landing' one to be real because of how awesome it is. Also because we bothered to do it multiple times, each more ludicrous than the last. "Let's fake golfing on the moon lol".

My favorite is that people who actually believe the moon landing was faked are also the sort of people who believe in UFOs.

From the asteroids themselves. Why set up an infrastructure on the moon in order to build an infrastructure in high Earth orbit? Makes no sense. Drag an asteroid into orbit, use that for everything you need.

quote:"During the transmission of the Moon landing of Armstrong and Aldrin, who journeyed to the Moon in an American spaceship, two minutes of silence occurred in which the image and sound were interrupted. NASA insisted that this problem was the result of one of the television cameras which had overheated, thus interfering with the reception.

Remember they had that Frasier episode where Buzz Aldrin is confessing that he saw aliens and there was a NASA cover up but Roz and Frasier were busy fighting so they didn't hear it? Good stuff. Thanks, early 2000s.

quote:When Apollo mission astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind" statement, but followed it by several remarks — [mostly the] usual COM traffic between him, the other astronauts, and mission control. Before he re- entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark, "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky."

To get sentimental for a bit, when I was a lad, men were landing on the moon a regular basis. This, a mere 15 years into human space exploration. The default assumption was of course this pace of advancement would continue, and by the year 2000 humans would live all over the solar system. But then came Nixon, and Reagan, and the Dark Times, and everyone's dreams of being an astronauts were buried, and instead we learned "Greed is Good". Then came W. and the future is bleak, now, we eat ashes and drink poison and tell ourselves the good times are still here..... But we all know the truth. We're doomed.

It's the mining/manufacturing that's hard. You still have to get material from the Earth to the Moon. Why go that BIG extra step when you can just build in orbit? Sure, it'd be primitive at first, but I assume the first space mining will be all about bringing that stuff back to earth. Once the Earth's economy has absorbed this, a new space age can begin and proper asteroid mining can begin - i.e. building infrastructure in space from the asteroid itself. The moon is completely unneessary for this.
