We should be doing this. The Japanese will be the world leader in robots when this is done. Actually they already are. Were ceding this industry to them.

Yeah, but while they use robots to build their moon base, we will print ours ...

Their robots will be printing their moon base.

“Operations that required more fine handling were performed with a human, by remote control.”
This doesn’t make sense:
* 2.5 seconds radio transit time (round trip to moon and back) is going to make human remote control very hard.
* robot precision is greater then human precision.
But what do I know?
To: Brilliant
We should be doing this. We will, once we get the correct number of black, hispanic, female and LGBT+ engineers involved in the project.
Priorities, you know.

And do not forget midgets, Jewish midgets. You’ll be able to fit more of them into the rocket.

Suprised we haven’t used robots years ago.
The lag between here and the Moon is short enough that they just could have been remote controlled.

Slow build as you go.
Don’t use ‘Doze OS’es. The moon would be a terrible place to be blue screened.

They were able to film this by remote control using the 2.5 second delay. It takes a little practice.
To: BenLurkin
And went the robots rise up they will claim status as the indigenous people of the moon
Saying they were enslaved by earthlings.
And then our robot overlords will demand reparations and then use it to justify genocide of the entire human race
So no..bad idea

What you really need is a backhoe that can build another backhoe.

I love that video! It really shows chemistry and physics in action.

2.5 seconds radio transit time (round trip to moon and back) is going to make human remote control very hard. Just slow the human down with pot, problem solved.
