If you have a sense of humor, and can poke fun at yourself:

But is that all they do? Dance?
Oh, no! Our robots on the Moon are building a catapult, collecting water ice, (They are at the Lunar North Pole), mining and excavating, and building tunnels and caverns.
The work is slow because they have to be controlled from Earth via radio links. We hope someday to be able to open up their electronic capacity and make them more autonomous.
So, what's the catapult for? Actually, why are they doing any of that?

Thanks. We just got back. The bad news is it's viral, the good news is that she's past the worst of it, the bad news is I'm coming down with something.
Ohman...
Now THAT's what I call a jingly tune! LOL!
They don't look very "capable" of doing anything BUT dance. Of course, maybe Darks was tweaking them and letting the zombies play...I mean, how do we know???
I don't know, my brother hasn't been around
& I certainly don't mess with the zombies.
Otherwise we could ask (read: blame) him.
The spider-robots are doing preparatory work for a Lunar Colony.
The catapult, or more properly designated electro-magnetic launch facility, is designed to allow cargo loads to be accelerated to Lunar escape velocity. They can be targeted to resupply a space station, a LaGrange point habitat, or even sent into Earth orbit.
Raw materials, and finished products from Earth's Moon can be used to add to the "material" wealth of near space, and all for just the cost of building the catapult, and its needed banks of solar cells, on the Moon.
The sheltered spaces on the Moon will be utilized by Lunar settlers, who wish to have their isolated independence, and their place in history. They can be the manufacturers of needed products to be shipped to other space colonists.
I'm predicting that there will eventually be a thriving colony at the Lunar North Pole, and likely the South Pole as well. Why that horrendously cold place? Because a tower erected at the Moon's North Pole could be elevated up into perpetual sunlight!
A mirror atop that tower could bathe the colony in warmth, and even rotate as needed to restore a twenty-four hour day for growing certain crops! (In domes, of course!)
I wouldn't go into the lower levels fer NUTHIN'!
And the zombies are better left to your brother...he's the only one that can control them, it seems...
"Sheltered spaces on the moon?"
You mean, like the dark side of the moon?
So, what does that say about my brother? None of the
possibilities I'm coming up with are particularly good. ;-)
You must have missed or forgotten our discussions about our purposes for the Lunar Expedition.

It's back around there, somewhere. We used the excursion to test our rockets, but also to set up a Lunar outpost.
The preferential locations on the Moon will be the North and South Poles, and that spot which is in the middle of the Near-side. That's where the industrial development will occur.
Another prediction I'll make is that the Moon will have a "Magic Beanstalk" reaching from the middle of the Near-side to a point about a quarter of the way back to Earth! An elevator will be able to lift you into Near Earth space!
LOL!
He's way too cool (or scary) for the zombies to try anything with him...he threatens them with the dustbunnies, and the zombies behave!
Hmmm-m-m-m-m...
Two things happen to you when you start to get older: 1) is that you forget things, and I can't remember what the other one is...;o]
If it was too long or drawn out, I didn't pay any attention.
Upon examining the link, I wasn't here for that. At all.
He threatens them with my dustbunnies?
ERK!
YOUR dustbunnies???
(Egads! We're doomed!)
Sure, we speak the same language... nose twitching! ;-)
