Shiiiiit. Moon trains anybody?

My first thought when reading the headline was how pissed is the fuckcars movement gonna be when they find your carbrains are building roads on the moon lol

As much as I'd love to bike on the moon, our rovers don't last more than a few hours at most when dealing with lunar regolith - it's highly abrasive and gets everywhere

Cars are great, if there are few. Can't have everyone in one when you live densely.

So Michael Jackson is outdated now. :-)

Those damn murder machines keep ruining all that perfectly good moon cheese. They should simply walk the 13 miles to the mission location instead.

Lol, those people are worse than preachy vegans and Linux supremecists combined. They're one of the few communities I've blocked completely.

Semantics are secondary to capturing attention with headlines. And it's still just a minor summary of the whole story.

To elaborate, some dudes discovered a way to melt moon rocks to make asphalt. More dudes plan to make moon roads with it.

aeiou

Here comes another Chinese earthquake: ebrbrbrbrbrbr

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

Honestly the number of people required to send is zero, because they're for vehicles and it isn't a strict requirement that they have humans in them.

As long as there is "stuff" that needs transporting, you'll want vehicles, and if you want vehicles you probably want roads.

Not much point sending people there without any real purpose. Much cheaper and safer to send probes to gather whatever scientific data we need.

Just put the laser high enough above the ground, like in orbit, and nothing will ever reach the lens.
