I am developing a space ship and tug to do some lunar mining I just need investors before we can start. Huge returns are in the pipeline, we also need astronauts so if anyone wants to invest and you also want to be an astronautthis is a huge oportunity for you...........
Hah hah hah, foolish Earthlings! We Vaguelians mined your moon of everything valuable millennia ago, right after our mining drones turned Mars into a barren wasteland.
This may astound you but no I'm not. To explain why you have to understand moon mining belongs in the following video as an economic viability. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qGTjIcVDAU[/youtube]
You should launch an ETF backed by proof of patent demonstrated in lego models and throw in an infinite energy machine for good measure. There is always room for another ETF backed by the power of dreams.
No I am absolutely not concerned about moon mining. In fact I would be more concerned about being eaten by a tasmanian tiger in the middle of Rundle Mall.
Even if the cost were not prohibitive (which it is), or the moon were a plausible location for a future human colony (which it's not), the moon does not have the geologic history of earth (no plate tectonics, volcanoes nor alluvial features) and therefore no seams of ore or alluvial deposits. Now Mars on the other hand.... that's a different story!
The name of this thread is "is anyone concerned about moon mining. Think this way. With the cost of transportation, if we were mining on the moon, that would mean all or nearly all of the silver on earth is gone. Your stack would be of inconceivable value. Concerned? I think not.
The moon doesn't exist, it's impossible that it does, and impossible to explain it's placement, merely alien mind control ship
Quite frankly I am far more concerned about the environmental effects of uncontrolled whaling on the moon.
give or take a moon .... The asteroid that skimmed by Earth last night has its own moon "AN unusually large asteroid that just skimmed by Earth had its own moon, NASA has said as the US space agency released its first radar images of the flyby. The asteroid known as 2004 BL86 made its closest approach late on Monday at a distance about three times further than Earth's own Moon. Radar images from NASA's Deep Space Network antenna in Goldstone, California show that the asteroid itself was about 150 metres smaller than expected, and measured about 325m across. The asteroid's small moon was approximately 70m across." http://www.news.com.au/technology/s...tbrain&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=technology
It is unusual that an asteroid only 325m across can maintain a satellite approx 70m across ... would NASA lie about something like that ...
Think about it ...how can an object only 325 metres across maintain a stable gravitational effect in orbit on another object 70m across ...
