Seems like underwater colonies would be something we could do now and we wouldnt need a fucking spacesuit or clothes 2 feet think to handle Titans temperatures.
Might wanna start diggin a hole out back, TN.
The US has signed a treaty with seven countries governing exploration and exploitation of the Moon and its resources. While many signatories never even landed there, Russia and China were – perhaps unsurprisingly – not invited.

Yes. Thats what got me pondering this.
Someday it will come in handy having a claim up there. The technology just hasn't caught up yet. But people who know its potential as a weapons site or place for a stationary space station will use it someday.
And I predict Russia and China will give a rats ass about our friendly "agreement." We'll be fighting over it just like we've fought over every other land claimed anywhere on this planet. It's just how we roll.
The members of that coalition would fucking destroy russia and china
Don't encourage it, TN. It would be nice to think if we are smart enough to use the moon as a resource, we might have evolved the animal-instincts enough to work cooperatively in space. Apparently, the frontal lobe and deep brain don't talk much. It will be the end of us if we don't quit.
But that's getting off topic.
Did you read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea? Me neither. But the imagination is sometimes very close to right in predicting the future!
