Btw, as the lunar seas have craters, and they are ring-shaped like atolls, why not rename the in-sea craters into atolls, declare them off-shore zones, and set a tax-free mode there to attract investment into the lunar infrastructure? Just imagine the laundry perspectives. The Moon would become a spa in a decade.

Why not? Pieces of helium-3 are digged everywhere. -
Spam calls. And again, a phone call from another random phone number is followed by the SMS from the phone provider: "You can order a paid service to block the spam calls!" Coincidence? I think so. P.S. This time the SMS arrived even before the spam call had stopped ringing. What an amusing responsiveness!

Interesting fact: on the "pipe club" google request, instead of rusty pipes with a bulky fitting on top, you get photos of nerdish people, who are sitting at the table and smoking. Do they hide the rusty clubs under coats?

The Moon was hotter than the Earth on creation, because it was melted completely. So, it was a hotter place than the Earth. That's great! So, they can harvest He-3 between the potato rows. Also, following the Mark Watney experience, they can just send hydrazine from the Earth to the Moon, and produce water out of it. P.S. The picture looks strangely familiar... -
One sentence you could say to annoy an entire fan base?

Both Tomcats and Hornets are biting, but Tomcats are also peeing. -
The comets are chaotic evil. They see, what happened to the lawful good DidymosDimorphos, and are performing evasive action. A natural shelter for a space-based megalomaniacal scientist.

So, the good ones win! Btw, why is the coal behind the train? Do the passengers carry it?

Helium-3 is the main product of D-D fusion (both of its branches), so it's slowly being produced in the Sun, where hit comes from to the Moon regolith. The lunar ice, I guess, should be slightly enriched with D, because the Earth wasn't ever melted like the Moon, so it keeps more light hydrogen. Powering the Earth from the Moon sounds silly, as the terrestrial ocean is full of deuterium, and any hydrogen-rich planet as well, so the D-D reactors are the future, while the He3 ones have a local application in cramped conditions like a lunar base, where the reactor shoul be compact, while on the Earth the ocean is both a fuel source and a neutron protection. -

Things that NASA never said at a press conference.
kerbiloid replied to FlamedSteak's topic in Forum Games!
Still using it, from time to time, as well as calipers. P.S. Btw, on the thread subject. I believe, somebody in NASA is doing this, too, but doesn't say at the press conferences. -
If I was an E.T. IT, I would start the invasion onto Earth from giganuking the Moon, to make the lunar ejecta form a dust cloud, let it spiral down to the Earth, wipe out all human satellites, disturb the radiation belt and the ionosphere (to burn the remaining sats with EMP), form a dust cover above the entire surface of the Earth, cause a several year long moonuclear winter, wipe out the crops, let snow cover the entire surface (to reveal any traces of human activity, like smokes, vapor, footprints, hot IR spots, etc.). As a bonus, this would put vegetation into anabiosis and stop the oxygen replenishment, making breathing more hard. Then I would welcome the survivors, explain to them that a rare space cataclysm has happened (it's possible, Holy Wood has already shown this to them in uncountable postapoc movies), and now we came to save them from wars, violence, and from the weapon which they should collect themselves and bring to the free food diners to be good boys and keep getting their soup without troubles. Of course, there are insurgent criminals, deserters, and marauders, who make doing it problematic, so they should guard their homes themselves, and help us save the good citizens from these sociopaths' provocations, and inform us every time when they see footprints on snow or smoke above the snowed trees where it should not be. *** A local specific phenomenon is known as "armed rednecks", populating the rural regions of some highly developed countries, who have a shotgun or even a rifle under every bed, to protect their homes from the red hordes of commies. These tough guys are not very numerous, they are just several (3..4 ?) per cent of the total population, but they are brave, well-trained, always ready to fight. They won't just give away what belongs to them, and to them belongs almost entire food production in such huge and powerful country. They always know the proper price on their food, and they won't let just come and take it. At the same time the city economics of such country is "post-industrial", based on "industry of service". (That's how they say "Our industrial production has no real need in these excessive people, but we will be giving them a posibility to get a piece of bread and enterntain themselves, as we have enough resources for that. And we'll even will be saying sweet words on their creative futureness on TV, to ensure them that it's okay.") Once the economics suddenly had gotten out of the excessive resource, and the brave farmers (i.e. a thin layer of food monopolists) declare new honest prices on their food (because it's a free trade world, the farmer should be paid for his products), the feeble, intimidated, white-handed, but unemployed barbers, bartenders, baristas, will quickly form the BarBarBarian foraging teams and go to the brave farmers to discuss the crop prices and what the farmers can accept instead of money (like in Russia, 1916..1919), enthusiastically supported by not rich people with non-English default Windows language, also having lost their poor job. The rednecks think they are arming against the commies, but in fact they are doing it instead the yappies and hippies, just yet don't realise this. After a while, the Brave New World will arise above the resurrected Earth, with happy rural communes (like in Russia, 1930s), who welcome the new friends from the galaxy far, far away. *** So, I believe the superbullets would be required very rarely, as the social interaction, the community relations, and words of friendship said in time, are more effective than violence and fear! P.S. Wait... But maybe that's the plan?... Maybe the Musk's Martian Race... No, it just can't be the truth...

A typical counter-human propaganda of last decades. "Humans are guilty", "the Earth is doomed". A gnostical propaganda and mental programming of the material world destruction. Make everyone think it's normal, to make it happen.

They can wear vests made of rubber, to make the superbullets bounce off. Also, the F5/F9 can help. Let them focus on it. The air support may be landed. The aliens must be silly to not do it. The same about the satellites. Start any interplanetary invasion from washing everything from orbits with several meganukes in the ionosphere, and/or blinding lasers. Nice auroras as a bonus. +1 to the logistics. A proper intendant can bring more damage than an enemy regiment. The californium shrapnel for the 20 mm shotgun launcher rulez. All three examples are wrong. Two formers are about meat waves of cheap soldiers, the latter is about two equally armed forces, where the R force has less soldiers than the U force. Red Dawn and Visitors are more relevant, lol.
