What do you think the media of Musk's moon kingdom will be like? Will it embrace the adventure and expansionism in a hostile land like westerns did or is it going to be all depressing like soviet literature from living in a tightly managed system

I have ridden the mighty moon worm

Mars is gay

A lot of MoonLeak videos of people getting blown out of flimsy airlocks, crushed under falling beams, incinerated by failed rocket launches, run down by multiple self-driving moon buggies, etc.

You have to wonder when Star Trek is going to reveal that it was actually a descendent of Elon that was the one they are referencing.

Living on the moon will be like living in the Outback.
It will be all new and fun for the 1rst generation who really wanted to be there, but starting from the second generation, born and raised there, it will be hell.

>>212306959
>people getting blown out of flimsy airlocks
by default the pressure difference will only be 1 atmosphere, this is not nearly enough to "blow" somebody out. those scenes in movies are extremely exaggerated. even if the hole is somehow window sized, it wont nearly generate enough force to swoop a 200 pound body off its feet.
>crushed under falling beams
1/3 gravity will make stuff fall slower and with less force of impact, you'll easily survive falls and crushes that would kill you on earth
>run down by multiple self-driving moon buggies
they won't drive faster than 5-10mph anyways, the benefit it self driving cars/robots on mars is that they operate autonomously 24/7, not that they do the work fast.
>failed rocket launches
thin atmosphere and low gravity means that the launch to orbit can be done with firecrackers

>>212306599 (OP)
>surface domes
Absolutely retarded and unnecessary.
The dome itself would need to be so tinted that you wouldn't get enough natural light in there to make a difference.
You're better off just excavating a big lava dome/tube and then inflating a big bag of air inside, and then just building regular buildings made from locally produced concrete.
Excavate several large cisterns that you can fill with locally reclaimed water to be used for plumbing and irrigation, and more importantly, you have people spend a mandatory hour a day swimming laps and doing water aerobics to counteract some problems with lower gravity, its a full resistance work out and the resistance comes from mass and hydrodynamics, and not necessarily weight so you can keep your muscles and bones from atrophying, and keeping your cardiovascular system healthy.
Then whenever you need to expand your colony its as easy as excavating a new area, inflating another bag, and hook them together with a small tube with airlocks.
Then you just have a few observation towers that peek above the surface so people can go see some sunlight and a horizon.
Though mars does have a really convenient day that's close enough to earth's (its like 24.5 hours long) that you could keep a perfectly natural day/night cycle with local time, and it would only become a problem if you're trying to call someone on earth and you have to calculate the difference and time zone.

Because of that lower gravity you could build a space elevator on mars with materials available today.

>>212307318
Unless we break the light barrier there won't be live phone calls between Earth and Mars. Emails will be the main form of communication. Depending on where each planet is in its orbit Earth and Mars are anywhere from 3-22 light minutes apart, so that's the minimum amount of communication lag.

>>212307871
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm just saying there is a way to make a comfortable living environment that is infinitely scalable and relatively cheap (once you pay the up front costs of getting shit there), but its nice and modular so you've got the potential to bootstrap yourself into a series of stable communities that can become self sufficient on consumables in a relatively short period of time.

Musk is gonna overdose long before SpaceX ever has a successful Moon or Mars mission

>>212307912
I live in Austin, and my job is on the same block as a place that has been testing and training the waymo driverless cars for more than a year or so. They basically just drive in an endless loop through an office park and warehouse area, onto a main road, off the main road, and then pulls back into its office.
They're neat looking, but also a pain in the ass because they drive like fucking grandmas so getting stuck behind one means you're going to be waiting forever because it needs a quarter mile of clear open road before it will make a right turn.

Before he became a chud I had a journalist friend of mine walk me through all his overpromised and undelivered projects from throughout his career. He's been failing upwards for decades and the only reason he gets investment is because he has a cult of personality around him for being le science reddit man. He will never put a man on the moon or mars, he will most likely fail to get this taxi thing off the ground like every one of his undertakings has failed decisively.

Sounds like you’ve got it all sorted out then.

Yeah, such colossal flops as the largest online-only payments processing company in the world, the largest non-chinese-state-backed EV company in the world, and the number 1 commercial spaceflight company in the world that is embarrassing longstanding aeronautics companies and pioneering privatised space exploration. What a series of massive blunders!

Play bioshock 1 to find out. Realistically though they're just gonna build up a base with robots first, so yes, it will be tightly controlled.

>>212309590
I think probably the best part of Musk dickrider chuds is that no matter which zio freak failing upwards with daddy's money they cape for they're both going scorched earth on each other kek. Do you support the kholing redditor getting dogwalked by Trump or the senile orange cuck who's on the epstein list? Truly our best and brightest!

>>212307594
What else am I supposed to do?

>>212309610
Which one?
Paypal came out of a merger between a business he founded and one founded by Peter Thiel.
He took over Tesla less than a year after it was founded and 4 years before they started production on the first car they ever made.
SpaceX was his from the ground up.

>>212308074
The TV show MARS, in which they colonise Mars, by inflating big bags of air in lava tubes

>>212310576
Motherfuckers stole my idea.
I want my fucking money.
One neat thing, if you had a big enough volume of air on the moon, like a big open stadium sized balloon at 1 atmosphere you could strap wings to your arms, and if you're light enough, you can generate enough lift by flapping your arms to let you fly like a bird on the moon.

>>212309555
Rude trips

>Elon Musk has abandoned his vision of colonising Mars, according to Peter Thiel. In a new interview with Ross Douthat for the New York Times, Thiel has claimed that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO no longer believes a Martian colony is a viable political project for humans to build a new society. According to Musk’s friend and fellow Trump backer, “2024 is the year Elon stopped believing in Mars.”

Guess OP's mistake of writing Moon instead of Mars might be correct after all.

It was always a pie in the sky idea that no one person could self fund and I don't think anything about the guy really fills me with any kind of positive expectation on how a society run by him would turn out.
You basically need Socrates's making his republic, but for real.
Really though, once you get out of the gravity well of earth there's really no good reason to get stuck in another one. Your real end game is going to be orbital colonies. There's nothing you can get on a planet you can't get easier in space. The trick is just getting up there and exploiting resources, after that it bootstraps itself well enough.
