The achievements of Elon Musk pale in comparison to what JasonDBlaha has achieved

TIL people get really mad when you talk about things Musk is trying to accomplish
Yes, he routinely over promises and under delivers on his grand proclamations. So what?
I'd rather big dreamers that actually produce things

Which is Musk is going to have satellite relays between the earth moon and mars all they way through.
What did this have to do with the post you were responding to lmao

A space elevator is much easier to do on the moon for the same reason.

I don’t get mad. I just wonder how of what he's talking about is actually technically feasible (given physical restraints).
I get dreaming big (altho I'm not very good at it). I also understand the basic limitations of science and the universe as we know and understand it.

And the things we once thought unachievable, through endeavoring to do impossible things, become achievable.
I seriously doubt in our lifetimes there will be a "city" on Mars. But I look forward to what advancements come with trying to achieve it.

Great. But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m not talking about ambition or vision. I’m talking about what’s actually possible given the laws of physics and the physical constraints of the universe. For example, and a reference to our conversation before, no matter how ambitious you are, you can't change the speed of light.

In all honesty I have far more trust in Elon getting to the moon in any meaningful way long before NASA does, for like 1/10th of the cost.

Tell me what about the moon makes it special for AI potential
Lower average ambient air temperature in certain regions allows for easier cooling using less infrastructure to provide the cooling.
Lack of atmosphere to block solar radiation makes solar power more efficient.
Lack of existing civilization makes it easier to build the large data warehouse facilities without encroaching on private property or straining an existing municipal power grid.

The problem with that statement is this. Those areas where they are lower "air" temperatures are on the dark side of the moon. The areas that receive sunlight, where you would need to generate solar power, have ambient temps of up to 250 Deg F, or hotter than boiling water.

Meh. This shift has a whole lot more to do with NASA/the Trump Admin announcing that they will not wait on one company to get back to the moon. They've threatened to give the lunar lander deal to another company, and SpaceX has already taken $3 Billion in government contract funding for that project.

Has helium six been discussed?
The search results focus on Helium-3 (\(\text{He}^{3}\)) on the Moon, a valuable isotope found in the lunar regolith, rather than Helium-6. Based on the provided information, here are the key details regarding lunar helium resources: Abundance and Source: The Moon contains an estimated 1 million metric tons of Helium-3, which has been deposited by solar winds over billions of years.Purpose: It is highly valued as a potential fuel for clean, non-radioactive nuclear fusion on Earth. It is also used in quantum computing and medical imaging.

This dude definitely drives a Tesla and is pissed every day because Musk hoodwinked him on political views and climate change.

Yes it has gravity.
My point was comparatively speaking to us its effectively zero.
Much easier and less force needed to escape what little gravity is present.
Thanks Mr Semantics for your addition to the conversation.

Will be interesting to see how they address the radiation challenge.
Our moon has a great deal of material already up there to shield people though it probably means a lot of space under the surface.

No one who uses "math" or cares about precision (much less space travel) would round down 1/6 or 16.6% to zero.

Yeah I think a lot of people underestimate how much future coordination there will be between elons companies. He has a boring/tunneling company. Battery, vehicle and robot company. Space company.
Hmmmm space company’s goes, drops off mining and boring equipment and robots. They build sublunar or submartian facilities. Things are all set before a human has to spend more than a day there.

How long do we think humans can live on another rock that has a fraction of the gravity of Earth before they begin to experience adverse health effects?
