The Moon is a [Not So] Harsh Mistress!............

Don’t store any nuclear waste.

[albie]

Good. A fresh start! Just what I need! The further I can get from these commie bastards the better.

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

The Moon’s Top Layer Has Enough Oxygen To Sustain 8 Billion People for 100,000 Years

Put Dems in charge of it and there'll be a shortage by Thursday.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

I can think of a great number of pols, leftists, and crony capitalists, who should be sent there to establish an ‘Earth colony’. XiJinBiden can be pResident of the colony. Two Veeps: Komie-la Heels-up Haris and Justin(e) True-dolt. Positions that suit their specialized talents.

The circa 2040 EPA will find Neil Armstrong’s foot prints and claim the moon is a habit of an endangered species and so surface strip mining is not allowed.

[Army Air Corps]

The Spaceballs will be along shortly.

[ALASKA]

But where are we going to find that many people who live that long?

[ClearCase_guy]

We should all move there immediately.

100,000 years to flatten the curve.

[rey]

Even with the car running?

[Steve_Seattle]

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 ...

[I want the USA back]

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.

Hogwash!

According to my thought experiments, which are damned exhausting for my 87.97-year-old brain, the numbers, depending on the tides, are:
The Moon’s Top Layer Has Enough Oxygen To Sustain 89,503 People for 726 Years...☠
This result is "hockey stick" supported...👌
This should, finally, get me the Nobel I was cheated out of 46-years ago...
