I kind of view it kind of like Antarctica, where it’s a little interesting as a park or preserve and there’s research to be done that justifies sending some robots and people, then at some point a handful of tourists will visit it. It doesn’t seem like it’s worth trying to protect from resource prospectors who want to try make a claim, though. I’m on board with protecting moons like Io and Europa until we can do more research, though.
yeah im not gonna argue with you because your argument is so fucking wild and goofy, and I’m not a photographer so I’d never know if they’d want night lights or not
Lets just stay off the moon?
It’s in everybody’s backyard and they want to build shit on it.
It’s completely barren. Who cares.
Me.
Out of curiosity, why?

It’s just an amazing piece of art in our sky. I would not want to see it get destroyed by human greed.
I dunno, I think the moon with city lights would be awesome
No thanks.
You can’t see any of mankind’s influence on Earth from the moon. Why would the obverse be true?
Can you imagine possibilities forward in time? That’s what I mean.
Fair enough, but we humans haven’t fucked up Earth enough to be visible from space. We’re trying, OK?!
That’s untrue. Even Russia’s invasion is already visible from space. https://www.npr.org/2023/10/06/1203372829/the-bruising-artillery-battle-in-ukraine-has-left-a-scar-that-is-visible-from-sp
damn your eyes must be so good if you can see that level of detail on the moon
It’s an obvious jab at me but what about photographers and people looking trough telescopes?
It’s a beautiful piece of nature.

What kind of person are you to try and undermine my opinion? Other people with other opinions exist. Move on.
