Populatin' the Moon

[Bay Arean]

I just read this and thought it was an elaborate hoax: an Israeli space vehicle called "Beresheet" than spilled water bears on the moon.

So I did fact-checking and its actually true. Everything I ever understood about not accidentally putting life forms where they shouldn't be in space exploration is a bit...upended.

I don't think anything can survive on the moon's surface

Yeah, given the current conditions on the Moon, Radiation will kill anything left up there for too long. You would need to create a shielded biodome for anything to live up there.

Or, the radiation will make it awesome in ways manga animators couldn't even imagine

I like yer answer best!

I dunno, people talk about them being able to survive anything, including a comet ride to earth.

there have supposedly been experiments showing that tardigrades can survive vacuum and radiation in space. but obviously those tests didnt last THAT long. I bet they will all be dead-dead sooner than later.

however, now there are fossils of life on the Moon. imagine if we found fossils of life on any other planet.

I read those articles a few years ago.really blew me away that there was something that could actually live in space.

they need oxygen, so untill the moon generates an atmosphere or someone makes them little pressure suits they can't Live up there.

i'm making a distinction where Not Entirely Dead is different than Living.

Yeh, that was my point. If they were already there, we wouldn't know except by location I guess.

They are already just dehyrdated and in stasis or whatever anyway.

To me, they are the most fascinating form of life on earth, or wherever they are from.

From the story:
"Tardigrades in dry state can survive pressures up to 74,000 times the pressure we experience at sea level, so the [crash] impact should not be a problem for them," evolutionary zoologist Roberto Guidetti told Business Insider. "They can stay dry for decades, potentially centuries.""

What currency will a moon Starbucks accept?
Will smokers be allowed to light up?
What side of the road will people drive on?
What will be the drinking age up there?

Too many questions to solve before it can be populated

 

[aminalmutha]

In a generation, they will have grown quadrillion fold, invented giant lazer robot dicks and will come back to earth and fuck us all to death. arty

Space Godzilla!

 

[Bay Arean]

Sorry, I still cant get over Bear-shit leaving scat on yonder moon..

And the thing is, they put human DNA there, too...

"In keeping with that mission, the company put a "lunar library" — a DVD-like disc containing a digital archive of nearly every English Wikipedia page, along with ebooks and human DNA samples — onboard the spacecraft. Thousands of tardigrades were attached to that library."

The waterbears will have something to look at when they learn to read.Like Wikipedia entries on David Hasselhoff.

Can I bring my AR-15?

I dunno, but it strikes me that Israel has a new location in mind for displaced Palestinians. It'll be on the next treaty.

Nah they just build more settlements there and declare it's their God given right.

 

[Bay Arean]

The Very West Bank.

Shit, why not? They have tried everything else with those fucking lunatics.

Careful now, someone will be offfeeeeeeeeeeended.

Come to think of it, whose DNA samples did they send up thar anyway? Netanyahus?

I can just see the crayons being sharpened to pen Elders of Zion part 2 as I wonder aloud.

Palestine elected a Terrorist Group as their democratically chosen Government. Not like a, "U.S. is putting spin on shit, boys," terrorist group, but a real live globally certified terrorist group. Fuck that country.
