Cost vs profit. Getting there is expensive, being there is expensive and hard due to weight limitations, and bringing anything back is expensive. Unless you find something of value there that could beeasy to obtain and light enough to bring back cheaply, it has to have such a huge profit margin to be worth it.
One thing Avatar had right was the unobtainoum bullshit part. One billion dollars per kilogram, making the trip, fuel, equipment, manpower and return trip worth the trouble. As far as I know we haven’t found anything like that on the moon. Unless we can find some super uranium to make cheap fission reactors on earth or something in that realm of cost benefit to make it worth it, repeatedly going to the moon isn’t worth the money. The rocks might be interesting to scientists, but the beancounters control the purse strings.
I’m sure if enough doubters wanted to pool their money and fund it and elect you’re own astronauts Elon Musk would be happy to drop some people on the moon for you. But asking other countries to fund space exploration isn’t going to happen. They’d rather buy an aircraft carrier that after a few years service for them they can resell to another country and recoup some of the cost. Anything that has an easy to explain use and a chance for resell has a much better chance of funding than a space mission in the name of curiosity as far as countries budgets are concerned.
I admire the brevity in which you can express to the world that you’re retarded. Sadly some of us enjoy using the language we all understand to get a point across.
I point out going to the moon over and over for very little to no return on the investment makes for a good reason to not keep going there. You respond I’m a shill. Who’s really the shill here?
Go thump your bible and claim there’s a firmament over your flat earth in your basement troll, you add fuck all to the conversation beyond stupidity.
