In principle I agree with this. The moon has been up there, relatively unchanged for the history of our species. It’s a meaningful connection to our deep past. It may even have helped life evolve on the planet. Romantically, it’s the only thing that we all can look up at and see so it’s a common shared experience for everyone. I think this is an important piece of our heritage and does need to be looked after. Also, I don’t really understand how morally one person has a right to do things on the moon but I don’t. - who gives them the ownership?
I’m not anti-science, or anti-progress, but some things are more important than, money or individual egos.
You can do anything to Mars, or the asteroids, they’re not culturally important, but the moon is, at least the side facing us.
When I started there was lots of smoke 😀 it’s true that you can easily accumulate random stuff, but I still think it’s better to have spares of the things I use than risking running out and waiting for a delivery. Maybe I’m just disorganised.
When you buy components, buy a bag of them. Good for when you let the smoke out of one, and you can have several projects on the go at a time.
Has a psion5, brilliant tech. Loved it. The calendar was way ahead of its time, 2AA batteries gave weeks of life and you could just about touch type on the keyboard. If I could get it to synch with office I’d be tempted to dig it out again, it really was the future.
