i’ll skip the air,i can hold my breath
i’ll skip water,i’ll bring some cola instead and no food needed,i’d build my own mcdonalds
we also need warmth,nasa
WARMTH,EVER HEARD OF THAT!?
So we rape and …
So we rape and pillage the planet and then go off to another one?
Doesn’t anybody see how stupid this is ?
To transport enough equipment and people to make this even half plausible will finally finish off the earth and most of it’s inhabitants, i.e. your children. Stop feeding technology and feed the world.
Quote “More than one-third of client households in the USA report having to choose between food and other basic necessities, such as rent, utilities and medical care.”
Get a grip people…
@Nogert I totally …
@Nogert I totally agree with you.We humans need to stop fighting and start working together to achieve better things.
@Hahahailovedogs …
@Hahahailovedogs I’m sure this will get thumbs down, but I think before we as a human race will ever get anywhere else, we need to drop religion (which will never happen), stop arguing abot who is right, and work to getther as a planet.
I wish we could all …
Therefore until we reach the point when all the crybabies we call major powers actually start helping one another (instead of stacking up as many Nukes as possible), we can not achieve world peace, and therefore, common space travel (whatever you may call it).
I wish we could all go to the moon, or other planets, but it is simply not happening anytime soon, seeing as we are so far from the state of “World Peace.” As I see it, it’s actually getting farther and farther from it.
@BO3000B That would …
@BO3000B That would make us blood-sucking leeches and world-destroyers. (like the aliens we see in movies except it’s us who come and kill)
I wouldn’t want to be involved in that…
prob the initial …
prob the initial pump would be sufficient cos our bodies only uses the oxygen???
@WatchedProductions …
@WatchedProductions Ok well I figure we do need the nitrogen. If it’s only oxygen then we will over oxygenate our blood which would be lethal. So the 20% oxygen is at a stable ratio because the nitrogen makes up the rest 80% excluding argon. Our lungs don’t aborb the nitrogen, it just helps set the balance the air out so we don’t start dropping dead. The moon wont be good enough to live on until it has an atmosphere and a stable environment. (sounds a bit like the Spore game, but it’s true).

whY m00n? theRe Are Lot pLanEt! to liVe!

prob not really we mainly need oxygen

We’ve …
(sarcasm)
We’ve lived on the earth for a long time and we’ve gotten pretty good at it, until the banks started buying votes with the taxpayers money to get what they want. lets help them get to the moon by unwillingly giving them our money!
(/sarcasm)
If they put the 78.1% Nitrogen, 20.9% oxygen, and 1% Argon on the moon to start with, in that dome, but use plants to filter C02 to oxygen, we will eventually run out of nitrogen and argon? or is that not used by the human body?
Yah, thanks to …
Yah, thanks to obamas third world mentality I will probably never get to see humans living on the moon. I seen the first man on the moon in the 60s and thought the USA would be living on the moon by now. WTH? happened? I am outraged! America get ready to be a 3rd world country. Fools know not what they condemn themselves to.
LOL!!
LOL!!
What a creative way …
What a creative way to ruin the rest of the galaxy
MOOON PIZA!
MOOON PIZA!
@GaarasTrueFriend …
@GaarasTrueFriend Who cares about taking care of planets. We can just move to new ones as technology progresses.
Finally a place …
Finally a place where we can put Republicans…THE MOON or Mars. Then we can deny them reentry, do to the fact that they are no longer earth citizens, but MOON citizens. We can close our borders and try to shoot them if they try to cross the ionosphere. We can have ,mass protests against them and deny them earthen food stamps and housing. MUWAHAHAHAHA
sadly the purpose …
sadly the purpose presented in this good video is pretty much now dead due to the cancellation of Project Constellation….
Idk for sure about …
Idk for sure about that, You must be reffering to Titan though…
Saturn is a very mysterious planet! It like a planet out of a science fiction novel. It has a moon that looks exactly like the death star from star wars and structures on the B sections of the rings. It’s really a special place! Imagine all the torque that must be created but all that stuff spinning!
didn’t NASA find …
didn’t NASA find water or under ice oceans under one of Saturns moons?
@GaarasTrueFriend, …
@GaarasTrueFriend, if we can get people to live on the moon and mars or whatever we can take more care of our planet because there would be less people, the more people the more crowded it gets, so thats why we should move people onto other plants or moon
Besides why should …
Besides why should we live on another planet when we can’t even take care of the one we are living on right now! (Guys I’m not saying the moon is a planet I just mean on any planet not just the moon)
@AshleyWosh
You say …
@AshleyWosh
You say? How many haven’t said “that’s impossible” in the past, and look at us now. Actually we got the technology to make it happen right now. What’s impossible? Care to elaborate?
They say microwave …
They say microwave frequency cuts right through the brain like butter; is that why so many people are having melt downs?
No water? Didn’t …
No water? Didn’t NASA just discover masses amounts of water recently? I like the lil’ dome animation they did! I wonder in what condition are the ones that are already there. Are they destroyed from millions of years of micro astriod collisions? Or are they still intact? It kinda gets the imagination going!!! COOL VIDEO!
