This CBS host's objection to "colonizing" the moon was so dumb that even Neil DeGrasse Tyson was flabbergasted

They're talking about moving to the moon, not moving the moon. Exactly. They're talking about one thing and ignoring that any change to the moon's mass will affect its orbit.

To many black Americans EVERYTHING is rooted in racism, right down to the most innocuous experiences.

Well, the moon is white after all.....so therefore it MUST be racist.

There was some idiotic movie in the early 2000s (I think “The Time Machine”) where they built condos on the moon. This caused the moon to disintegrate and ruined life on Earth for a few millenia.

Billions of dollars wasted going to places that do not support carbon and water based life forms.
Talk about government waste.
It is not as if the Moon is the military “high ground” which can be used to dominate all of earth.../S
Low Earth orbit and Geosynchronous orbits are the current high ground. Both sides have access to it in the Russian/Ukraine war.
Only one side had usable access in the start of the Gulf wars.
You don’t actually have to “win” the war, but you can prevent the other side from having exclusive access.

COMPLETE waste of resources. It’s a rock, without air, food or water.
Probably a trillion dollars to establish a geodesic dome for 6 people.

This is the same idiocy that led some developers to stop using the term “master bedroom” in the BLM heyday

They're talking about one thing and ignoring that any change to the moon's mass will affect its orbit. You think we will pile enough mass to alter the orbit of the moon? Seriously doubt it.
Anyway, since the moon is gradually moving away from us, maybe a little more mass would help keep it around.

Reminiscent of the guy on CNN who pondered whether missing Flight 383 may have been sucked into a black hole.
To: Red Badger
And microaggressions are anything “they” say they are....which makes it a convenient universal bolt on excuse to perpetually have a grievance.

You think we will pile enough mass to alter the orbit of the moon? Seriously doubt it. Any mass will affect its orbit. It's current mass has been altered by asteroids, comets, and meteoroids but who knows what "straw will break the camel's back"?

1000 times harder to colonize the moon or Mars than Antarctica. So I suggest they start there first!

Ming might have something to say about it...
