What are the advantages of putting heavy industry on the moon?
- makerofthings 5y agoI imagine there is no need to worry about pollution, or carbon footprint or any of that. Stick nuclear reactors all over the place, nothing to really worry about if anything goes wrong with them. It’s just a big ball of rock with no atmosphere so it seems like an ideal place to stick all the dirty industry that’s messing the earth up.
- CRConrad 5y agoIf you're going to lift industry out of the Earth's gravity well, what's the use of plonking it down the Moon's? You'll only have to lift the finished product out of it again, in stead of just nudging it to drop from orbit.
