Hypothetical question to pound at!!

Its a way to look at it. You're right, no family or friends wouldnt be the same up there. Thanks for replying.

I feel the same, there would be horrible crimes and take over by the strongest and it would be like in prison.....the stronger rules and fu the rest. A totalitarian society would emerge.

Little crime? During the gold rush people were killed, buried and no on was the wiser. That's exactly what it would be like on the moon. There would either be a hostile take over or everyone would end up killing each other. No matter what, we are human and we are going to do what it takes to survive.

We should be spending that money on solving some of the environmental problems we have here on our own planet instead of buying into the fantasy that we could live on the moon. That money would be better spent on things such as wind-energy turbines, solar panels, tidal-energy turbines, and hydro-electric dams. These would take advantage of the RENEWABLE resources that we have here on Earth, and would start the process of moving us AWAY from our dependence on fossil fuels. I was reading an article in a magazine I picked up in Gainesville, Florida, that was talking about the city of Gainesville implementing a plan to pay people for the energy they created by having solar panels installed on their homes and businesses. I can't remember what the article called it, but it was a really interesting concept that other cities should follow Gainesville's lead on. Most states offer a similar program, but the program started in Gainesville pays IN ADDITION to the benefits offered by the state of Florida. Anyway, the article stated that there were more solar panels installed on the SOCCER STADIUMS in Germany that were sold/installed in the ENTIRE state of Florida during the WHOLE previous year. I don't know about you, but to me, that is a pretty sad statement. It perfectly illustrates how far behind the rest of the world the United States is when it comes to things like solar panels and wind-energy turbines. All this money being wasted on exploring the moon and other planets would be MUCH better spent on tapping our renewable energy resources here in our own country. Don't get me wrong, I believe there are parts of the space program that are important. The satellite systems that we have in space are vital to our national security and our communication abilities. It is vitally important for us to keep our satellites working and updated to the best of our abilities. However, money spent on exploring other planets and galaxies is money wasted, and is money we should be spending in other ways...

You're right goldeneagle, so much money spent for our lovely moon. So you're staying here with us then. We'll keep you. Im not going, too dangerous for my taste haha

Hello Spalladino. I think mostly macho men would want to join such a project if there is ever one haha! Yah, men do love a challenge, dont they? Then all of us girls can stay on earth and spend our whole time shopping with THEIR money Thanks

I feel the same Ybong. For some reason, I feel safe and secure on good ole mother earth. I can only hope we'll never run out of space or resources that we have to spoil the moon. Thank you for participating.

Hi Ice troll, well another one who's up for adventure and the fight that might await anyone landing on our beautiful moon. I think you'd know how to defend yourself then. Thanks

Join the club then Beautyfactor, sounds like most women wouldnt go. Too frightening and its understandable. Thanks

Really?? well you're a brave one then. I guess we need some people who are wide open for adventure. I think you'd have your money's worth !!!

Hello Fluffy, well thats why I tittled it "hypothetical" I dont think something as perverse as this would ever happen......well I sure hope not. Guess some of us would rather stay grounded on good ole earth.
