In the next 10 years that will happen. Im not just saying that, there is currently a company gathering funding to send scientists on 1 way trips to mars.

There is supposed to be a lot more helium 3 on the moon than on earth. Every material that's needed to make solar panels can be found in the lunar dust, so ideally we could just cover the moon in solar panels with automated machines. If we did colonize the moon, space launches could be done for a whole lot cheaper. Trampolining on the moon would be unreal. THE MOON OLYMPICS would be bat shit crazy. I had an idea for death row inmates to op for a hunger games/death race tv show on the moon

Oh and the moon is hollow.

This could become the first object a potential alien civilization in a different solar system discovers from us. Crazy.

"It's like a highway, letting particles in and out [of the solar system]" lead Voyager scientist Ed Stone told reporters at an American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco.

uhhh.....12/21/12

that is all

Hasn't quite exited yet. That particle flow it is currently in is considered part of the solar system. It'll be out of the solar system soon though. months-a few years

Very exciting.

The moon is so hollow

And the energy would be stored for space launches and other moon things. Also if a moon elevator were to be setup, the energy could be sent through that.

There have been many reports of the moon being hollow. i think it was the apollo 11 mission where they said it sounded like a bell being rung when they landed. a few years ago when the US gov. shot that steel spike or whatever it was they said the moon rang for a few hours.

Maybe at this day and age colonizing different planets isnt a realistic option for humans but we are going to have to figure that out quickly if we want to survive. China is working on a biodome that they are planning to send to mars. Stephen Hawking has talked about this as well, humans are reproducing so fast that earth doesnt have enough resources for us to keep going at the rate we are. Hawking said we have around 150 years to either figure our shit out or we wont survive.

I have a feeling that such a civilization will find us before they find voyager...

I mean, have you heard of the pale blue dot? this spacecraft took it... and it shows how slight our significance is.

It could power a huge laser that could send energy back to earth. However you better hope no planes fly through the beam

They didn't. No celestial body can be "hollow" because of the forces of gravity exterted

The moon is not hollow.... We have seismic network in place on the moon to record seismic activity and it basically has been proven that the moon has a thin crust a thick mantle and a small core that is approximately 1.4% of its total mass....
Dont be an idiot its not hollow that wouldn't even make sense if our theory of gravity etc is correct (all mass attracts).

you know that by 2050 most countries will be in stage 4 of the dtm, and many will be in stage 5. For those who don't know what the hell I'm talking about stage 4=0 NIR and stage 5=a negative NIR, resulting in the decrease of the total population.
