How We Could Build a Moon Base TODAY – Space Colonization 1
Added 2018-09-16 12:42:41 +0000 UTCDid you know that we could start building a Lunar Base today?
Thank you all for the support!

I think his point is less 'political' and more social / survival focused. For instance, if the earth is impacted by a large meteor which plunges it into an artificial winter for a period of time we'd have a colony which would successfully be able to avoid the side effects (both political and environmental) and they'd continue to thrive and move society forward (and maybe even help us out to some degree) while the rest of the planet recovers.

2018-09-17 15:20:03 +0000 UTCThis video felt a little old fashioned. Why will the early lunar bases be 'light weight' when BFR gives every impression of being viable, and can support 50-person month long expeditions, and/or soft land a hundred tons or so of cargo?

2018-09-16 16:26:14 +0000 UTCWhy not Mars? I think the lack of gravity on Moon will fuck with human development and their children in the long run... Kinda like in the Expanse with the belters.
2018-09-16 14:42:17 +0000 UTCChildren will need to born/live in a centrifuge(artificial gravity) on the Moon otherwise their skeleton would not form properly in low gravity. Biological experiments strongly indicate that gravity has a major role in properly forming human bones.Unfortunately bones dynamically broken down and formed during adulthood too, so to a lesser extent this is a problem for all humans (Moon gravity coupled with regular exercise and some medications would likely work well for adults).
