      It’d be funny if they knocked down the US flag. What’s America gonna do, fly someone up to the moon to replace it?

        I’ve heard that the American flag has been bleached completely white by the sun, so in a way the lunar lander has already surrendered

    Who is going to be the first space brick-layer ?

    Sending the working class to space undertakes a new meaning, not just explorative and scientific, but to work.

    Space construction workers will be the first truly working class job that leaves this planet.

      嫦娥八号Chang’e 8 will lay the first bricks on the moon in 2029. So whoever’s sending the commands at mission control for that could be called the first space brick-layer.

        Working class in space except it’s socialist and hopeful instead of the usual capitalism in space dystopia.

        Star Trek kinda touches on this with the engineering workers on the ships but socialism taking construction workers to space gives me such a vibe to think about.

          God, I wish so hard right now that we’d won the Cold War and that the hope and optimism and constant scientific progress of the Space Race era was still upon us.

              Yeah. Born too late to experience the hope of the early first Cold War, born probably too early to witness (hopefully) communism winning the next one, my generation got pretty unlucky.

            Can we talk about how they kill Marco, and then just do exactly what he wanted? IIRC He wanted an independent Belter nation and an union run(?) Medina Station?

      My guess is that robots will be doing a lot of the initial work. I can see those Unitree bots being able to do a lot of manual labor in the near future.

    This is a waste of time until they develop a better hull for moon-fairing ships. Everyone knows the moon’s prospects are primarily tied to its bountiful whaling fisheries.

      I, on the other hand, am extremely excited about building stuff on the moon because that will open up the rest of solar system to serious exploration.
