- ainiriand 4y agoOr, real moonshine.
- taylorius 4y agoThat sounds like something Elon would add on the side of a future moon-based fuel making plant. :-)
- Svip 4y agoI am still waiting on them to put casks on a space ship, put it in orbit, and ship it back to Earth, like Linie Aquavit crossing the equator twice.[0] Space Aquavit (or Rumakvavit, if you will) will surely be a thing.

- codebje 4y agoThat place has nice beer, but no atmosphere.
- fauxpause_ 4y agoThis is a good joke. Although the moon does actually have a tiny atmosphere.
- burnished 4y agoWhat is it composed of? My uneducated guess was that it was full vacuum on the lunar surface
- TheMerovingian 4y agoBut the moonshine is fantastic!
- SEJeff 4y agoAnd their outdoor seating is terrible. One might call it suffocating.
- doublerabbit 4y agoThe staff are a bit a let down, there's this one human spieces person who keeps mumbling on about how he ruled something called Twitter back in 2023 AD.
- layer8 4y agoI wonder how tall the foam would go in 1/6th g.
- brookst 4y agoLook, we’ve told you a thousand times, we are not sending a keg of beer on your Artemis mission. Now get back to studying, it’s a long day today.
- drtgh 4y agoThe radiation level exposure on the Moon is estimated to be around 60 microsieverts every hour [1], while the limit of amount of radiation received by the general public in a year is set to 1'000 microsieverts (1 millisievert) [2]. It would then be necessary to be achieved the regenerative medicine in the first place, with a major revolution in radiation shielding technology. Unfortunately does not appear to be on the verge of being a reality (in short term?), if one look with cold eyes the current state of medicine is amputation.

- Brendinooo 4y agoIf water is plentiful and accessible, that could be used as shielding, no?
- drtgh 4y agoIt is not my field, but if plentiful and accessible, we are talking about several thousand tonnes of water around a small habitat that could theoretically be used. Nevertheless, if I understood right, that immense amount of water would have a limited shelf life until acidification corrodes the containment structures, so it would need to be continuously treated and refrigerated, " Ionizing cosmic radiation is mostly gamma rays and protons, which are overall very similar to the radiation from nuclear waste. Protons are slightly lighter and so would have less energy at a given velocity (more easily stopped); but, because they're protons, if captured by the water they'd basically become H+ ions which could acidify the shielding water in time (not seen as much with nuclear waste).

- stametseater 4y agoChemically neutralizing the shielding water should be trivial. But why would the water need to be refrigerated? Energy absorbed from radiation would be emitted as thermal radiation, and lose a ton of thermal energy during the long lunar nights. If well insulated, the water tanks could serve as thermal batteries to keep the rest of the base warm.
