Moon’s top layer has enough oxygen to sustain 8B people for 100k years
I hope I never see the day when a casual glance at a full moon reveals a large dust cloud from active moon mining obscuring part of the details that I've become familiar with over my lifetime.<p>I'm not sure the moon needs those type of scars.<p>Maybe they'll find a way to use an N99 filter dome over their operations.<p>The progress of man seems so naturally tuned towards destructive outcomes. We bounce from one fucked up scenario to another, each one an attempt to put a band-aid on a gaping wound left by our failure to consider how our technological progress seems to leave us with ever more urgent issues to address to insure our own survival and that of our descendants. Maybe we're the virus that is learning how to defeat the planet's immune system and ultimately kill it.
