Why?
Are we not ruining Earth enough and need more stuff to ruin, or do the rich want somewhere to go when they have destroyed things for the rest of us?
I mean I love space, and Iโd love to move to a retirement community on the moon (Iโve even come up with a crappy slogan! โ1/6 the gravity makes old bodies feel new again!โ) but for real, why do we need commercial enterprise in the moon? Canโt we just have a nice moon that isnโt ruined by capitalism like literally everything else it touches?
No, we cant have nice things. There is no discussion.
