- trixie_ 5y agoMars has some atmosphere, smaller temperature swings, higher gravity, ability to synthesize methane, and a 24 hour day night cycle. The moon has none of those, especially the 1 month day night cycle. It’s not much more delta v to get to Mars so there’s really little reason to waste time w the moon.
- heavyset_go 5y agoThe moon is 3 days away from the Earth and its supply lines, versus the ~9 months it takes to travel to Mars.
- trixie_ 5y agoIf the plan is building a permanent settlement the travel time is less important than the environment.
