Impossible. Humans can't yet live for longer periodes in space.

It would be cool though.;)

What would be the purpose of these bases? Wouldn't it be a huge waste of time, money and resources to have a base somewhere so strategicly useless?

Its an attempt to secure vital resources on the moon (such as rocks and err more rocks) in an attempt to bulid a giant flying machine!

I read that we could get 100 years worth of energy from the moon if we'd invent fusion power plants.. something about the moon's hydrogen ion bounty..

It's to prevent the commies from harvesting the cheese & flooding the market with cheap dairy products, thus bringing about the fall of the capitalist nations.

Sir, that is implausible. There are no, repeat, no government military bases on the Moon.


Now, please look at the neuralyzer and count to three...

For what possible reason would one have a military base on the dark side of the moon?

And wouldn't that be in contravention of the treaty that bans military installations in space?

Now if the moon were made of cheese, I could imagine the French trying to do it.

as I've just got back from there, (business reasons) I can deny it. There are no moon bases that I just visited.

Considering everythings done by lowest bidder, a base of any sort on the moon would have been even worse off than the space station. Not only that, but older equipment and technology, as it would have been there some time. I keep refering to this in the past tense cause the thing(s) probably blown up, or they lost a seal and are sucking vaccuum.:eek:

Probably more than that... It's all that yummy H3 that occurs naturally on the moon. Fusion power plants have been invented, they just need a lot of work before we actually get much power from them. I'm not sure if they've reached the break-even point yet.

Why do people think that governments are so good at keeping secret huge moon bases or little grey aliens, when they can't even organise the day to day running of the country?

Evidently, the Canadians are willing to believe that Bush is capable of anything...

“OTTAWA, CANADA (PRWEB) November 24, 2005 -- A former Canadian Minister of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister under Pierre Trudeau has joined forces with three Non-governmental organizations to ask the Parliament of Canada to hold public hearings on Exopolitics -- relations with “ETs.” [He warns ]"The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning. He stated, "The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide."
