Scientist Call for Earth 'Backup' on Moon

[SoulManX]

Scientists hope to put a library of human civilization on the moon in case of a cataclysmic, civilization-annihilating event. It would protect against the wholesale loss of human achievement.

How sad with movies like Back to the Future and 2001, nothing has changed.

We don't live under the sea, or on the moon or not even a city in the clouds.

I doubt if Aliens flew across the galaxy... the human race would have anything near an "achievement" compared to them.


Like are they really going to wander the universe looking for reality television and celebrity worship? And a very good way to just ignore half the planet's living conditions so they can enjoy that reality tv and celebrity antics?

Soon my friend, soon

What if the Moon goes first?

 

[SoulManX]

What if the Moon goes first?

Then mankind is truly ****ed

 

[LexCorp]

If the moon goes first we put it on Mars

 

[SoulManX]

If the moon goes first we put it on Mars

Ummm ok

 

[LexCorp]

I joke I joke

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Its no moon. Its a space station

Then life on Earth is doomed anyway. The moon helps stabilizing Earth's axis. Without the moon Earth's axis would wobble more dramatically than it does today, with more dramatic climate changes as a consequence

Take your pick.

this is the older model the newer one holds 4 passangers, has an extended back tail, and can reach up to 35,000 ft and go 375 mph

but it will cost you up to 900 grand.



the other one

this is going into mass production within 5 months and will cost 50,000

 

[LexCorp]

Are they real??

 

[WTFimVENOM]

Are they real??

Yes, but don't expect them to be available to us common folk

yup hes right, watch the documentary, what if we had no moon its cool, they suggest that if the moon does go further away from us, (which it is, 1 inch per year) the earth axis wont be stable any longer, colder climate areas will go hot and barren, hotter areas, would go cold.

and we would probably have 30-40 hour days, since day nigh cycles would be thrown off as well.


also to the mars idea, if the moon does go, than yes mars is the most likely candidate for living on a new planet, well that and Venus, all that needs to be done is terra forming, which is a warming of the planet and reviving plant life by releasing Co2 and natural greenhouse gass's, with the new warmer planet thawing out, ice will melt, water vapor will be released, and rain clouds will form, giving mars more water, leave the planet for about 500 years and it will be changed drastically, grow plants, food, built housing, labs, green houeses.

will have earth 2.0 by the year 2600 - 3000


but there are ways to get it done alot faster.

Put a super computer on the moon and then send burst transmissions to it of new data... I can see that.

But what if the moon gets destroyed along with the Earth? They need a backup of the backup further out. Pluto maybe?

Yup, the flying cars are real, but far too expensive still. There are a couple of other types out there too.

 

[terry78]

They need to be focusing on some of these planets around us for habitation. Neptune, Mars, etc. We always need a backup, we can't just have one planet. You don't know what the **** could happen.
