Had we just a slightly different perspective on our role in the world in 1969, as well as our potential, there would be bases on Moon today. Moon would be populated. Moon would possibly have two new idiot senators for me to bash in the Pirate Wires Daily. “Don’t tell me I have to wear a mask,” I would say, “you live on Moon. Go buy some more oxygen, idiot.” Our discourse would be fun. We would also enjoy an untold number of technological wonders born from human pressure on that wild, difficult, alien terrain. What else would we know about gravity, at this point? Or human biology? Would we be traveling from Los Angeles to New York City in thirty-minute trips on repurposed reusable rockets? Instead, “the moon” belongs to “everyone,” and nobody’s up there. Ridiculous. Bad. A path in need of change. The correct course is obvious:
Moon Should Be a State
