I don't know why people are having such a visceral negative reaction to your post. The near face of the Moon has been since the dawn of humanity the single natural formation visible to and enjoyed by every (sighted) human who has ever existed. Preserving it for future humans seems not only natural, but imperative.
- wombatpm 5y agoFine, put everything on the farside.
- colanderman 5y agoSounds good to me.
- politician 5y agoAbsolutely! Let’s make sure to have enough machinery on the Moon to repair impacts from meteorites, too!
- colanderman 5y agoYour needless sarcasm belies the fact that you either missed or are ignoring that the OP's concern was about large persistent dust clouds obscuring major features. Not pockmarks.

- politician 5y agoThere's a group of folks here that believe we should eliminate all exploration for the sake of ambiguous and vague goals of "preservation". They pop up in every discussion of the future, demanding explanations for why people of whom they have no affiliation should use resources of which they have no ownership for purposes over which they have no reasonable control. Consider directing your volunteer HN moderation at that absurdity.
