You're kidding

Yes, the mining may be possible.


Too bad the logistics behind it to carry over to Earth are impossible rendering the idea useless.


How about starting to conserve, and cut down on major industries for prolonged existence on Earth?

Precisely. Transporting something back and forth from Earth to our moon isn't exactly cheap. The cost of that plus replenishing the necessities and resources to those who would be mining on the moorn. Eventually it'll probably happen but I doubt we see that in our lifetime.

Well I mean you could always ask the Autobots to use their Star Bridge.

Helium-3 is all well and good, but there's a small fact that we will run out of metals and oil for plastics. That is what is going to be ruinous. Our need to mine is not a matter of if but when. And that is what is going to cause us to expand into the cosmos.

me personally i believe we already tested the helium 3 debate when they brought back moon rocks for study after the first moon mission....



couldnt hurt to experiment right?

The idea of doing it has never been impossible.

We have the tools to mine for helium-3, we just don't know how to get it to the moon and back.

This wholwe concept has been around for a while, so I don't doubt it will happen at some point, maybe not in my life, but at some point.



Oh, and everyone needs to watch the movie "MOON" it is the best sci-fi (well, a certain kind of sci-fi, kinda like classic sci-fi) film I have seen in so many years I can't even count.

It's all subliminal messaging from the Decepticons to help them rebuild Cybertron.

Science, just make fucking Gundams so we can end it all already.

I had actually seen a presentation in school about a year ago, about technological evolution, that was pretty interesting. They say a lot of stuff that we think we won't see in our lifetimes we probably will. They where saying that life expectancy will raise to at least 100 years (reasonably, but there predicting 200 years ). There logic was based on exponential regression, and double exponential curves. How technological evolution has been speeding up, and cycles between periods are actually getting shorter. That we're somewhere on the cusps of the curve where technology will just take off.

I think it's entirely possible to see this kind of stuff in our lifetime. I think the only thing really holding back our space program (and our exploration of the universe) is a renewable portable power source. It's just so costly to keep burning fossil fuel for deep space exploration, and to generate enough lift for us to get out of our own atmosphere.

[edit]: I don't mean to get off topic, but...think about this. We currently have the technology to make self driving cars now. It's just a matter automotive liability laws that are preventing up from having them. Someone has to be in control of the car for liability reasons, if we had self driving cars the liability would be on the car manufacture, which none of them want.
