We should not touch our moon. We shouldn't extract anything from it, and we should add very little to it. Earth's weather depends on it, so unless we're trying to manage our weather and its gravitational pull, etc.. then we shouldn't touch it.. and we shouldn't be trying to play with our Earth's moon unless we need to for some unexpected solar event.
- chr1 13y agoIf we don't touch it, it eventually will go away from our earth. We should develop technology to be able to keep our moon.
- loceng 13y agoThat would be 10s to 100s thousands of years from now..
- UnFleshedOne 13y agoWhat exactly could we do to it that would affect its mass significantly? Ship a significant mass back to earth? If things come to that scale, it can be easily corrected by dropping asteroids on it to balance the mass loss. This sounds like a "we shouldn't have any fusion or fission in space!" argument.
- loceng 13y agoThat might be a possibility.

- loceng 13y agoI don't watch Southpark - but that sounds like a funny episode.
- triplesec 13y agoWe shouldn't create this thing called Fire that the Gods have given us in nature. What if we burn up the whole of our lands?
- loceng 13y agoFire existed naturally on Earth while we evolved here on the planet. The moon's mass, at least during our time here, hasn't changed dramatically.
- triplesec 13y agoThat is actually a reasonable difference. However, how much could mining minerals from the moon really make a difference to its mass such that tides would be dangerously affected? If your point has merit, surely you need to suggest some of these issues?
- ceejayoz 13y agoHumans are a long, long way off from being able to do enough damage to the Moon to affect Earth's weather.
- loceng 13y agoIt's still important to discuss.
