Could the moon be terraformed to support life. Could life be bio-engineered to survive and live on the moon.
Where should nukes be placed, and detonated, to cause the Moon to spin?A spinning planet or moon is easier to terraform.
>>16537753>The Moon doesn't rotate.Anon, please.Granted, a 28-day day/night cycle isn't ideal.
>>16537525>Could the moon be terraformed to support life.Probably not. Life as we know it tends to get fried by the sun's rays hitting the surface without an atmosphere. The moon's gravity is too light to hold onto the kind of atmosphere we tend to think of.So if you mean true terraforming, and not just pressure domes, our best bet would be to try to introduce an atmosphere of an extremely heavy gas (but we wouldn't be able to breathe it), or to apply a solid coating underneath which microbes might be shielded within the regolith.In either case, we are talking about a habitat for bacteria, not animals or plants.
>>16537816It could hold onto a breathable atmosphere for a few thousand years
Domes are the most practical method. Giving it an atmosphere would be ridiculously energy intensive and expensive.
Also lack of spin means weather would be real fucky. Id be interested in seeing the modeling of what the weather on the moon with approximately earth like atmosphere would be like. The problem is day/night cycle is 14 earth days. This means the cold/hot cycles are more extreme. So yeah moon weather is fucked.
>>16537825>It could hold onto a breathable atmosphere for a few thousand yearsReally? I didn't think it could keep one for anywhere near that long.
Pic related. Genetically engineered tensile structures to hold in atmosphere over the entire surface. >>16537525>Could the moon be terraformed to support lifeIt has the exact same composition as Earth, so probably >Could life be bio-engineered to survive and live on the moonLife can be bio-engineered to enable other life to survive on the moon >>16537850This is fixed by adding water
>>16537858Paraterraforming is all you ever really need
>>16537525Why the FUCK do people ask for more land to live, even on such an inhospitable shithole like the moon, mars or venus?You have enough land in Earth. Too much of it already. If you think Earth is too full just empty it.

>>16537937You think any of that wouldn't also be true on the Moon, Mars, or any other body that's expensive to make inhabitable?
>>16537937And when you terraform the moon, every speck of the moon will be>owned by either a government and/or a corporation>have paying people already living on it>inhabitating it will require navigating bureaucratic redtape, committing genocide or running the risk of being ruby ridge'd by the local governmentYou have land on Earth you could be protecting instead, so a lot less of the hands you mentioned would be taking it. The more you push for expansion the more you're taking from someone who's perfectly fine with what we have.
>>16537923No indians in space and few jews
>>16537946He could move to west Texas or northern Idaho. Both have very limited local government interference into your affairs. Not sure what it is that anon wants to freedom to do but if it's mostly about building whatever he wants without interference, both of those places have counties that lack building codes and zoning. Maybe he wants to build nuclear weapons or torture infants, but more reasonable freedoms can obtainable by simply being selective about where on lives.
Anons will look at this image and embarrass themselves by not understanding it.
>>16537525No significant magnetic field.No significant gravitational field.plenty of frozen sublimating water underground.shitty rock dust that some of the most hardy earth plants and microorganisms could be grown on it if they were in an Earth atmosphere.An atmosphere provides respiration and shields you away from radiation.No, It is not happening until you find some magical solution to maintaining an atmosphere without it being blown away by solar wind. That's it. Also, you need to develop some unknown exercise system that prevents your body from atrophying from a lack of gravity. None of NASA's exercise routines have managed to prevent space wasting.>>16537946>And when you terraform the moon, every speck of the moon will beIf you manage to privately live in a biodome on the moon that is perfectly self-sustainable governments can complain but they won't do a fucking thing. USA/CHINA/RUSSIA/EU/INDIA aren't going to waste billions of dollars to launch rockets with bombs to the moon to destroy you.Also, astronomers around the world would be able to see your base and would advocate for you against their own governments.
>>16538095>privately live on the mooni hope we see moon sovereign citizens in my lifetime
>>16538310It's never going to happen. The planet is just going to be overtaken by billions of brown people and technological progress in 100 years will stop.
>>16538317maybe we should hurry up and colonize the moon then for our white ethnostate
>>16538419Whites hate whites too much for that to happen.
>>16537860>ywn fly under your own power through the forests of the moon
>>16537525yes, I read an article on it back in the 90s in Astronomy magazine or something, just add enough water and oxygen and nitrogen to get a good pressure at "sea level' and you're golden.
>>16537853you're one of those people who can't imagine geologic timescales and thinks everything happens an order of magnitude or two faster than it does
Already has been. The moon is a giant crystal computer that balances the universe. OH YOU MEAN ON THE SURFACE! Ah, well, I suppose so. The moon is already controlling all life in the universe, and she doesn't want your smelly feet stinking up her pristine wonderland.
