Nono no need to LIVE on the moon. Living in microgravity is bad for health. Living in rotating space habitats is the only realistic way we get space cities.
But yes, the moon definitely has the advantage of no atmosphere. Basically, the moon is where we place our industries (for the orbital and interplanetary economies).
Mars is so incredibly useless from the point of view of advancing civilization.
We can do so much stuff on the moon a lot better than on Mars. In short, the moon is MEANT to be industrialised by us.
Here’s a video, cuz I’m too lazy to type out everything. Also, sorry for the YouTube link. I don’t think this fellow uploads anywhere else.
Also don’t get me wrong. Mars is really cool as a scientific curiosity. It’s just not suitable for advancing civilization yet.
Naah for some reason I find it incredibly disgusting. Instead, I scream till it gets out.
