I just realize that there is strategic interest with the moon, it has more abundance of He3 there than on Earth. It would be a useful contribution to nuclear fusion research and potential application.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Also, if you can set up a permanent base there, and want to be free from Earth control, just build a catapult and throw rocks at 'em.

In about 2.5 hours Pacific, it will be 40 years since Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on another planet.  :respect:  
Will raise a glass at that time.
Sorry--should have said "solar body" or "another world." The Moon is definitely not a planet.  :asthing:

The Moon is a satellite - in the original sense of the word.
