    What is up with all these moon missions lately? First Russia, then India, now Japan.

      Earth’s fucked. Accelerating plans to advance technology so we can fuck up another planet.

      And “we”, I am mean “them”. The wealthy and their servants.

        Earth is not fucked, but having a proper moon base makes key technologys a necessity, like really large scale co2 scrubbers. Also, the moon is basically a new gold mine for Helium-3, which is going to be very important in the future.

        Having large scale co2 scrubbers makes a huge difference on earth as well.

          Progress doesn’t start at settling on other planets. Gotta start to refine the technology ssomewhere.
