Even with the car running?

We already have a much larger planet with plenty of free oxygen and nitrogen, lots of trees and water, and all the amenities. Why are they even talking about this? 8 billion people on the moon? Really?

[PIF]

That would suit the Han Chinese just fine - no other races needed.

“but there is a catch: it’s very energy hungry”

No problem. Instead of vast arrays of solar panels, have vast arrays of lunar panels. Just think how much juice they’d put out that close to the moon...

[Safetgiver]

But....But... What about the CO2?

[ryderann]

Won’t all those people tip the moon over?

[PIF]

... crashing into the lunar surface over countless millennia eons. The moon is billions of years old, not thousands as the word "millennia" would imply. Science writers today ...

Nuclear waste should be launched into the Sun...

Seems like it would be a good idea, but there are certain risks involved in getting it there.

Don’t be a ‘loonie’

Thinking about moving to the Moon, eh?

There are natural forces that resulted in the Moon having a thin wisp of an atmosphere that cannot sustain life. It’s reasonable to think that those natural forces are still in effect on the Moon and will result in any atmosphere that is created being lost to space.

Yes, living on the moon would mean living underground or in domes. Same goes for Mars.

To the moon, Alice.

I hope IKEA styled furniture and keyboard with no letters like on Alpha.

Nuclear waste should be launched into the Sun.

The late comedian David Brenner had another solution for disposing of nuclear waste: Gift wrap it and leave it in the back seat of a car parked in the parking lot at the airport in Newark, NJ.

[The Chid]

I understood that reference.

[enumerated]

Only the vaccinated may go live on the moon. The unvaccinated must remain here.

Once upon a time 1999 was far in the future. For that matter so were 2001 and 1984. Now they are rapidly receding in the rear-view mirror.

Oh well, Forward into the Past !
