You didn't read it did you.

They are looking for water,nooo, not rivers and lakes! The south pole of the moon is most of the time constantly in the shadows, so they are looking for water vapor and other resources which they will map out.

I was reading an article the other day, it more or less mapped out the future of humanity on Earth, and it is not good. So they need to do this now to help the generations of the future to find a new place to live.

We've got an advantage the dinosaurs never had, and that's the ability to seek out and explore to survive.

I just had a quick look so no I didn't...

They'll just wreck another planet.. After is something else can have a crack.
 
They should be looking for oil or something on the moon

I've got an acre of land on the moon just waiting to cash in.

Dont' forget we didn't wreck the planet previously, a meteorite did - so maybe planets just wreck themselves, regardless of humans, from the dangers of meteorites to when volcano's decide to erupt, creating their own global warming, blocking out the sun's light, the story of venus gives us clues to the past...

Does it actually have to have come from the moon? You can pick up the same rock types on the Isle of Rhum and the journey is slightly easier, apart from the ****ing ferry over.

Earth is a bit like Michael Owen in his Newcastle days now... Got overused and hobbled in it's youth, and now barely holding on just hobbling to it's eventual demise.

Mars is the fat red headed kid in the academy program that will never be any good, but where we're.goimg to have to pin our hopes because we spent all our transfer money on booze and hookers.
 
Andy Weir book - the martian (matt damon film)

Based on current science and how it can be done - people on Mars. Great read and better than the excellent film.

I just see the other planets as stepping stones to our future. Our fate is going to be the same as Venus, if humanity does not evolve, there will be no future.
 
There's no point looking for places to settle in our own solar system, fixing the earth is cheaper and easier than terra-forming somewhere else. The problem with fixing Earth is it ain't profitable, and that's really all that matters.

Fixing the earth is going to be hugely profitable - a good sign of that is the way the major oil companies are switching from fossil fuels to renewables like rats leaving a sinking ship.

Problem is its the governments, and by default you and me, who are going to have to pay for it.

Anybody else find it a bit strange that we are trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions while panicking about a shortage of carbon dioxide for the food industry etc.

I don't believe anyone is looking to settle in our solar system, but we have to learn about our own solar system to enable that next evolution. By that I mean evolving means of travel, evolving our knowledge and what we can extract or develop from planets within our solar system ie such as water on the moon or the atmosphere of Mars, it's about developing expanding our knowledge. Saving our planet is a seperate issue, exploring the universe should not be about replacing Earth. We've got an advantage that the dinosaurs never had, the ability to explore. Stand still and we will die like everything else, we might still become extinct, but at least we tried.

The problem with the food industry is we've spent decades centralising everything, it's that type of thinking that is destroying the planet. We've more or less disepensed with local farming, food fresh on the day, to your local market. We've allowed supermarkets to take over and prepack everything. Not only has it destroyed local farmers, it's brought our roads to a stand with the constant use of large freight, all these things equate to damaging our planet. Yet now we still don't change, we've allowed for our high streets to be destroyed, some will never ever be able to be taken back. We need to rewind 50 years, but we won't because we've become materialistic and greedy.

Too many antivaxers and Trumpers on Earth to make it worth fixing.
