Site for Moon Base Determined
Deinhard writes "Going hand-in-hand with the recent discussion on Moon Bases, Space.com is reporting that the perfect spot for a moon base has been found. According to the article, 'the best spot to settle on the Moon may be on the northern rim of Peary crater, close to the north pole.' What makes the location so important is that it is permanently lit, with a balmy -58 Fahrenheit (-50 C)."
We are Mooninites from the inner core of the Moon. Our race is hundreds of years behind yours. Some would say that the Earth is our moon, but that would belittle the name of our moon, which is The Moon.
For one thing, the Moon has one third less gravity than your Earth. I don't know if you can understand that, but our vertical leap is beyond all measurement.
On the Moon, nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with Moonrocks.
Fine, I'll build my own moon base! With blackjack...and hookers...in fact, forget the base!

So I suppose you'd be a good person to ask who wrote "The Moon Rulez" on my car with a key.
I own that bit of the moon, i have a certificate to prove it.

-50 isn't so bad. Almost tolerable. To penguins or something. Maybe we could make a penguin farm on the moon.
Wow, I didn't realize that the moon was going to be so dangerous, what with water ice lurking in the inky blackness and all.
Kinda reminds me of playing Xcom2: Terror from the Deep...
You know, the monsters that inhabit the lava caves? How do you deal with them?

It's important to me that my moon base have all 4 seasons.
Will I get that there?

Besides, we all know that the moon and us getting there was a hollywood trick done in some studio. We have never been to the moon, in fact it is not real...well that is what the gov't will tell those people with that certificate anyhow.
I mod down so you can mod up. Your welcome.
Well, he'd better have those units in the Northern Rim repaired by midday, or there'll be hell to pay.
Is there some sort of fat virgin shortage on the moon?
Obviously it is the temperature of the vacuum.

Great idea. Oregon would be an ideal place to build a moon base. Not only could we use the lava tubes for potection against solar radiation, but the logistics would be much simpler and cheaper. Putting everything on rockets and sending it a quarter million (or so) miles to the moon would be really difficult and expensive. It would so much easier to just have it delivered to Oregon in the first place. UPS and Fedex even go there, already.

Thank you for the insight, President Bush.

Lunar eclipses are visble everywhere on Earth that one could see (eclipsed portion of) the Moon. I.e., from approximately (actually a bit more than) half the Earth.
Similarly, Solar eclipses are visible everywhere on the Moon that one could see the eclipsed portion of the Earth (again, about half the Moon). :)
Of course, those living on the Moon might refer to Lunar eclipses as Solar eclipses and Solar eclipses as Terran eclipses.

Yes, just a big desert, chock full of raw materials we need our war against Iran, and with only 1/6 the popularity and no insurgents, it's easy to get those materials into the market. "Skipping" Iraq is just wack (pardon the pun). Once established, the Iraq war will pay for itself countless times over. --

Hello, beloved earthlings.
We have been observing your earthworld with moonminds vast and merry for many moonyears. You earthtechnological earthachievements are moonimpressive to our moonminds.
Unfortunately, we mooninites are fighting a civil moonwar. Moonsibling is killing moonsibling. As Moonheir to the Moonthrone, I am trusted with protecting the ample Moontreasury.
Fellow sapients, the Moon needs your earthhelp. I need to transfer the equivalent of $50,000 USD to two thousand and one Earth banking accounts. In order to do so, my moonsubterfuge moonskills will have to deceive the earthbankers.
I plead with you on my moonknees.
Please let me transfer $50,000 USD to your earthaccount. The moonmoney will have to stay earthhidden for at least pi earthdecades. I trust you will earthsafeguard it from the moonpretenders to the Moonthrone.
We will moonreward all earthhumans moongenerously.
In order for me to transfer $50,000 to you, I need an initial earthmoney fund to earthbribe the earthbankers. Please send me $500 now, and I will moonreimburse you in the transfer.
The Moon cries out for your earthhelp as the moonpretenders moonrape, moonravage, and moonraze their way to my moonpalace. Please take my $50,000.
Is this a sigs-optional kind of place? 'Cause I am totally down with that if you know what I mean.
Ok just what have you been smoking? And why didn't you share with the rest of the group?

you sure wouldn't want to stick it where the sun don't shine.
P.S. - This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
Perhaps you should try wearing something with better insulation than red/blue body paint and an official Bills' G-String.

The website you cite is obviously in error. Any small child could tell you that the moon is made of cheese. Therefore, it is a strategic location for astronauts to stop and indulge in a little fondue before continuing on to Mars.
