Moon cave discovered that could one day house humans
Moon cave discovered that could one day house humans
It is the first cave to be discovered on the Moon and could protect astronauts from radiation.
Tens of thousands of years of progress from humans living in caves so that humans can live in caves, on the Moon.
I have a sneaking suspicion this is an alien trap. They know we can't resist caves! I bet that thing is full of probes.
"We're whalers on the moon!"
We carry a harpoon!
But there ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing a whaling tune!
But what if those humans only ever see their shadows, cast on the moon cave wall?
Until Lunar Plato frees himself from the cave and sees the world as it truly is... then returns and quietly sits back down because it’s a barren wasteland.
They damn sure ain't gonna be touching grass anytime soon..
Another 6 weeks of winter I’d assume.
Everything reminds me of her
life on Earth began in caves
I thought it began in the ocean.
Ocean caves.
Checkmate
Warm little ponds.
I’m skeptical that we’ll establish a long-term presence on the moon, or even visit. We’ll be too busy trying to survive the living hell our governments and corporations have created.
What we hope for: Star Trek
Where we're really headed: Mad Max
Mad Max... In spaaaace!
Y’know we got about ten years before the extinction event we caused catches up with us, right. Moon and Mars fantasies are just that.
Yeah? So give up on this frivolous stuff and do... what exactly? Spend 10 years redirecting everyone's efforts into building mausoleums and tombs so we can all hop in in 2034? What are the NASA guys, or the European space agency people, meant to do in relation to the climate crisis and looming extinction event? Rocket science isn't biology, isn't climate science (though launched satellites and the like do help with researching it), isn't geopolitics.
You give me the same vibe as gamers whining about a game's art team making assets for cosmetic dlcs instead of adding story content or fixing game bugs or something, when they literally cannot do anything about those other things because it's outside their jurisdiction.
You’re right space agencies have no resources or skills which could be tasked with mitigating the climate crisis. Particularly any skills around creating sustainable living on the moon. Buncha liquid propulsion trigonometry nerds.
Dunno what i was thinking.
I get your point and agree but it's worth mentioning that NASA and the ESA are very much involved in climate sciences. It's like one of the main things they do.
Yep, let's just keep the charade up. Keep doing this and sending so much blue origin and spacex trash into low earth orbit.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Imagine them finding cave wall pantings...
Excellent spot for a time capsule.
It really is made of cheese!
Meanwhile, we can't even fix the homeless problem right here on Earth, despite the abundance of available housing..
Completely different revenue streams, academic expertise, decision making possibilities, etc.
It's not that we blew our paycheck on space shit and can't house everyone. We fucked up on the homeless for completely detached reasons. There's more than enough money
This is the type of argument I expect to see on Facebook by their mostly uneducated crowds. But here on Lemmy? I thought we were a bit better than that and more rational...
These are completely independent scenarios, with different funding streams, with different problems, solutions and so on.
We could fix it, we just don't want to.
Some of us do want to, sure, but clearly not the people with the power to do anything about it
damn, if only there was some way to do more than one thing at one time.
Damn, if only rich dollars were distributed equally and fairly..
Was gonna say this myself. God-damned dystopia.
Yes, humanity shall survive in a 900 ft deep cave. Right after we ministurize ourselves and everything we need with the Acme ray gun.
