since we're talking about the moon, i thought i'd share this story with you

nasa is hoping to build facilities on the moon that can house astronauts for like six months at a time. six months is the interval you can live on the international space station for.

i always have to check myself when i think about the international space station. yes, mankind has a space station. let it sink in for a little bit

anyway, so they're trying to come up with a base on the moon where you could live for six months. easy solution: do everything you wanted to do on the international space station, then crash it on the moon. there's a robot arm and everything now, it'd be awesome

what are you waiting for, nasa? most of the work has been done already
