Thought "mining lunar regolith for helium-3" was the most shameless scam in the space business?

  • Thought "mining lunar regolith for helium-3" was the most shameless scam in the space business?

    Look at these graduate students trying to make a big thing of crewed exploration (a few astronauts per mission plus their vehicles, tools and supplies? if that happens, which may well be "never"?) of Mars (144 million km2) polluting that vast desert, and over that premise designing a waste management system without prior knowledge of materials science.

    At current launch costs per unit mass (which are not likely to go down dramatically) not only Mars is safe from us but the Moon too. Delta vee goes up like a motherfucker beyond LEO; SpaceX filling our sky with junk is extremely dangerous for us but won't leave archeological evidence on any planetary surface except ours. Sorry if you dreamed of aliens reconstructing our habits from geo picks and bags of shit. That's why we have SF.
