we wrote the rules of the internet, and while some were In-jokes about life on 4Chan, a lot of them are just plain truisms. But the language makes Gen Z have the buttpains, so here we are…

How the actual fuck? (gestures vaguely)

I was thinking he was missing a very clever dad joke he could make.

If the ESA (AKA Actual Scientists) thinks it’s worth our time, and you are still not convinced then I literally don’t know what to tell you. Lunar regolith is lose, and lunar crust is generally porous. The moon lacks a magnetosphere and so absorbs the solar wind rather than deflecting it. The Solar wind is mostly charges particles but it’s also filled with Hydrogen fusion byproducts which is mostly HELIUM.

Science is not 100% observable facts, but also a good chunk of it is learning to INFER THINGS FROM AVAILABLE DATA SETS.

Added a source :)

I was referring to that being a supplemental benefit. LiHe cooling would still be the main method, just that having that extra radiative “boost” would help do so with increased efficiency/speed. (even if it’s a small boost)

This, but you can also build a traditional heat sink (panels) and let the fact that it’s very cold do the work for you. Yes, it would be radiative and that’s slow, but again, two weeks of night. You’d have the time for it to hit optimal temps.

Then you are afflicted with anthroexceptionalisim. We are animals. We obey the same rules of genetics. You are categorically incorect.

well that’s true for other animals as well. The “objectionable” part is the controlled breeding. If you were to single out the smart ones that DID excell and made them have kids eventually you would start to see results. But indeed, that is the rub. It’s wrong to force that sort of thing upon people with out their consent. That’s why Eugenics doesn’t work, not because the theory is unsound.

-1. The moon has HUGE reserves of Helium 3. Earth has almost none and is quickly running out. This is due to the fact that much of those reserves come from the solar wind and Earth’s magnetic field deflects that. https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Preparing_for_the_Future/Space_for_Earth/Energy/Helium-3_mining_on_the_lunar_surface

-2. It’s fairly easy to launch rockets from the lunar surface, and comparatively easy to launch things to the Moon vs. Directly from Earth to Deep space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWhqNmJiufc

-3a. The moon blocks much of the radio chatter from Earth (on it’s far side) meaning radio telemetry and astronomy have a MUCH easier time doing research

-b. By using such methods in concert with Terrestrial installations/telescopes, it makes for a FINE “natural” interferometer for literal logarithmic fractions of the price over Conventional Lagrange point based systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_interferometer

-4. The moon is ideal for biological “life boating” (google the “Svalbard Seed Bank” to get what I’m talking about)

-5. Earth’s gravity can sometimes skew the results of VERY sensitive nuclear particle experiments. A particle collider on the moon might lead to exciting discoveries in quantum physics. Also such colliders require lots of liquid helium for cooling. (see point 1) The moon gets INCREDIBLY cold on it’s night side, which saves on energy costs to boot, and night on the moon lasts for 2 weeks.

-6. The Lunar crusts’ composition is almost identical to Earth’s which means it probably has huge reserves of lithium, gold, platinum, titanium, and palladium. The fact that it gets seeded by meteorites frequently also increases these odds.

(edit) Added some sources

no, it’s “set realistic goals with achievable metrics and reasonable KPI’s”

Bro. Let me give the yung’uns some advice: Don’t raw dog reality.

Can you breed a dog? Can you breed a cat? Can you breed a Horse? Can you breed a Bird? Can you breed a Snake? Can you breed a Spider? Can you breed a Fish?

HUMANS ARE NO DIFFERENT

I’m not claiming its Right to do, JUST THAT IT’S POSSIBLE

bud, Eugenics (as a theory) is not incorrect, just how stupid, evil people apply it. It’s the reason African americans dominate American sports: The slavers spent 300 years breeding them for strength and endurance, because that’s also what makes a good slave. It’s morally wrong, yes (100%), but it’s also objectively true.

TBF, even on TNG, there were characters who complain about how fake replicator food and synthahol are, and they have whole episodes on Holoaddiction.

a Skeletor Reminder:

“Due to the fact that humans are no different from any other animal when it applies to the genetics of breeding, the children of two pornstars should therefore be better pornstars than their parents.”

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!

Hello, ICoJ? I’d like to report a warcrime…

look folks. It can’t be “cock” because the word is to long to be one

That’s certainly… (••) ( ••)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) …“Uplifting” news!

the Lucius Crassius treatment is more apropos…
