 @evan "has been" a permanent moonbase?!? Like, the moonies got scared and moved away when humans started faking the moon landings in studios in the 60s? Do buried monoliths count as a permanent base?   Isn't Artemis going to eventually result in there being one? SpaceX with their huge reusable rockets will sure help too.  Apollo was supposed to lead to a moon base too: ...but the funding got cut before it could do anything except the original moon landings. @evan semi-related: for people who daydream about spending significant amounts of time on other planets or in orbit, there is a brilliant episode of The Daily demystifying what the experience would be like: "The Bodily Indignities of Space Life" nytimes.com/2023/12/10/podcast… Listening to it makes me appreciate life on earth so much more! I think of it every time I take a nice long shower or when I enjoy a delicious meal followed by a walk outside |

If you think there already is or has been a permanent moon base, say 2030 or sooner.
If you think never, 2101 or later.
