Permanent lunar colonies could soon become an attainable target for space agencies
This is great even from the standpoint of wanting to go to Mars since it means setting up camp in a cave is now possible to try out much closer to home first. Kinda like sleeping in a tent in your backyard first. Makes the moon that much more exciting to know there's caves too.

Moon has different challenges though. One being no erosion, moon dust being abrasive af.
Yea, like a giant pile of statically charged asbestos that are hard to clean away.
Listen, I’ve been in an asteroid’s cave in Outer Wilds and I didn’t fucking like it.
Hey, at least there’s no fish there, right? 😅
In fact, we might be able live there.
“Lunar cave systems have been proposed as great places to site future crewed bases, as the thick cave ceiling of rock is ideal to protect people and infrastructure from the wildly varying day-night lunar surface temperature variations and to block high energy radiation which bathes the lunar surface,” said Katherine Joy, professor in earth sciences at the University of Manchester. “However, we currently know very little about the underground structures below these pit entrances.”
This is so exciting because it sounds doable. Unlike Mars, which is a tragedy waiting for the unprepared.
a tragedy awaiting the overconfident a fun destination for billionaire excursions!
We’ll let them work out the kinks first, you just gotta know how to sell it.
A tragedy awaiting the prisoner slaves we send there.
i wonder if the craters ground has 5-15 meters of regolith too?
Just throw it out
Hear me out…
The Descent but it’s on the moon.
Or the game Descent. Although that already took place in space.
Okay I haven’t seen that movie, so I was confused cause I could have sworn you visited many moons in the first Descent game.
So many movies to redo.
The Cave…On the Moon
Cave of Forgotten Dreams…On the Moon
The Clan of the Moon Cave Bear
The Notebook, but on the moon.
40 year old virgin, but it’s on the moon.
Or Dig, which was on an asteroid that became Earth’s second moon.
Wow, imagine living in a submarine that can’t go up to the surface. Diving suits required to exit into oblivion in order to board the little transit sub, then a long slow return ending with a hot, bumpy fall. Any point of which is very likely to kill you should even the slightest thing go wrong, of which the chances are pretty high to begin with.
Astronauts are mad, but living in a cave on the moon is next level crazy.
You make it sound so bad. As if diving in a submarine is dangerous. I mean, we can go to the Titanic without issues, so we should be fine going to moon caves right?
Right?.. 👀
I don’t get what would be the benefit, really. Scientific research, sure. But do we need monkeys on sight? We can land robots and rovers. What can a monkey do what a robot can’t? Keeping anything alive in space, on the mokn or on Mars makes every operation so much more complex. It’s stupid and unnecessary. But it’s a dream of Musk, the world’s biggest scam artist. So why not spend billions of tax money on his stupid dream, making his company a shit to of money. But Trump is probably getting re-elected, so Musk isn’t the stupidest thing out there anymore.
“It’s a dream of Musk”
Guess you were born recently, because this stuff predates Musk even being born.
But you’re so blinded by Muskiving in your head rent free, you don’t even bother to learn about the windmill at which you’re tilting.
Luddites, using the very high tech they’re trying to destroy…oh the irony.
I don’t get what would be the benefit, really. Scientific research, sure. But do we need monkeys on sight?
Moon mining, likely yes.
Shackleton identified, establishing Jamestown now.
I call Moon Marine !
one must commend Hergé’s research.
to show moon caves in Explorers on the Moon sixteen years before the moon landing in an era without the internet is some freaky stuff.
I know I wouldn’t send a manned mission to the moon and NOT try to build a moon base.
Finally some good news. The discovery of the Prothean ruins will bring the entire world together.
Got to get to Mars for those
“Get your ass to Mars.”
We have come so far first roaming the land living in caves then agriculture and science.
Then we went to the moon where we roamed the land and lived in caves.
Grifters gonna grift.
Reject humanity, become Moon mole
