Someone tell the c/FuckCars people, this'll really piss them off lol
Shiiiiit. Moon trains anybody?
I’ll take the moon subway
Moonorail?
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
Like sand?
Worse actually, but I get the reference.
Yes, it's very irritating lol. Basically, you know how sand is fairly abrasive by our standards? Well, sand has had millennia to get smoothed over by the natural cycles of our planet. As such, it's fairly smooth all things considered.
Lunar regolith has not had that same opportunity. It is extremely sharp - sharp enough to cut kevlar. There's a reason so much engineering goes into making EVA suits for lunar environments.
I don't like sand it's abrasive course and it gets everywhere wearing my tires down
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So Michael Jackson is outdated now.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.
