the moon is used as a launchpad to get to mars

did you even watch the video!

No wonder it's so expensive if they don't even know what planet they're starting on. You launch stuff from Earth, dipshits.


Human space exploration is bad, not because space is bad, but because humans are bad at being in space. More robots please.

You can launch a bunch of smaller things from Earth and construct them in orbit or a low gravity surface (such as the Moon) and that way you can get much larger vessels that have the proper radiation shielding and storage and whatever the hell for a voyage to Mars without having to launch the whole drat thing up from Earth's surface.

Do you even Kerbal Space Program bro?

I do, assembling in orbit is more efficient.

A rocket fuel plant on the Moon would be useful though, we should get the robots working on that.
