Humans to live on the Moon by 2030?

[Royale with Cheese]

We have 7 years.  If Rodger Goodell puts a team on the Moon, I will be livid.  Jet lag times a thousand.

Howard Hu, the program manager for the Orion spacecraft onboard the Artemis 1 flight, told the BBC that the agency plans to have humans living on the moon sooner rather than later. 

"Certainly in this decade, we're going to have people living [on the moon]," he told the BBC. "The durations, you know, depending on how long we'll be on the surface. They'll be living, they'll have habitats and they'll have rovers on the ground. ... So, not only are we able to work in delivering people to the moon, getting people down to the surface of the moon, they still have to have infrastructure." 

But ultimately, he added, "it's more than living – it's really about science." 

"We're going to be sending people down to the surface and they're going to be living on that surface and doing science," he said.

He won't. There are no taxpayers up there to fund a stadium.

I'm not moving there until there's a bar, swimming pool and NFL Sunday Ticket.

Hard pass. The only good thing would be lack of traffic. 
 

actually maybe if you paid me 5 million for one year I’d do it

But at least you'd get a dome, right?

I went to a restaurant on the moon once...food was good but no atmosphere. 

 

I'm here all week.

This would be the ONE case where a dome is the only way to ensure a football atmosphere.

I want to see Josh Allen throw a 1/2 mile wheel route on the moon.

I don’t get the obsession with the space race. Feels like there is so many course of exploration and research and development options on our own planet.

You won't have to exercise:

I only weigh 36 pounds!

Put some distance between us and the UFO’s at the bottom of the ocean???

Terry Gross is overrated.  I find her fill in hosts do better interviews and better research.

Both of the above. Plus, humans are natural explorers. It's in our DNA. We already live in places that would be uninhabitable without some kind of technology. (The word "technology" means "tools and techniques that enhance human capabilities," so it includes stone-age tech like fire-making, shelter-building, hand axes, spears, etc.) Space is just another frontier to explore.

 

Also, space exploration results in a lot of spin-off technology. A lot of common tech that we take for granted came out as a result of the Apollo program.

 

Finally, and directly applicable to Earth, some of the experiments being run on the ISS are related to finding new drugs that can only be produced in microgravity.

Who wants to live on the moon? That would be worse than Toledo.

Josh could probably get the ball to orbit the moon.

Senior citizens, that way can keep an eye on everyone on earth.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Howard Hu is full of poo.  Still waiting on those flying cars we were promised to have by 2020.

It only makes sense to populate the moon. We need to put toll booths in place so we can start charging those alien SOBs that have been buzzing around our planet and abducting our rednecks for free.
