Last week SpaceX was chosen to land humans on the moon in 2024. The ship will carry a lot of cargo so we will soon see a permanent moon base. And there are a lot of other moon projects waiting. Moon spiders anyone?
Let’s imagine how all of this will change our lives. When we look up at the moon will it look different? Will it be a favorite place for honeymoons? Will there be moon delicacies in restaurants? Or a new religion based on the moon? When will the first Pizza Hut arrive?
Will the best and brightest of young people dream of jobs on the moon? Will there be television reality series set on the moon?
Will our future as a species look more hopeful when there are people on the moon? Will there ever be a proper colony there? Or just tourists and temporary workers?
Come and discuss our very near future. Bring your fellow space geeks!
