On: Personalized Moon Crash

When spaceships can pollute a large portion of the moon, they'll be able to take people there and the pollution will happen naturally

Naturally polluted? Thats an edumacated statement.

But the pollution from this one 'hit' will be so small that you'll actually have to look for it, you aren't just going to stumble across it.

Shipping your sh..tuff to the moon is stupid no matter how you try to justify it...that can thrown on the ground in a forest is small, and may never be noticed. Does that make it ok? Only if you're an idiot. I'm no tree hugger but this is retarded.

It is possible, to some degree, to kludge up a suitably complex web of groups,

If you have half a clue and set up your groups properly, its far from complex, and gives you much more control than anything windows ever dreamed of.
