- dmurray 6y agoBurying things is a lot harder than just dropping them in place. Normally you'd pour a concrete foundation for something like this, so you'd be doing some excavation work anyway, but on the moon there's no need for a foundation because there's no wind.
- kibwen 6y ago> no need for a foundation Moonquakes do seem to occur, and although they're not as damaging as earthquakes I wonder if they're still something that engineers need to worry about.
- FlyMoreRockets 6y agoThe limited experience we have with digging on the moon suggests when you get past the initial few centimeters of dust, it is hard as a rock.
- secondcoming 6y agoThey could drop a payload of 3310's from orbit.
- bobbean 6y agoWe don't want to break the moon in half now, c'mon.
