God I can't wait to see China dunking on the US from space

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago

Hopefully with rods from God.

It'd be funny if they knocked down the US flag. What's America gonna do, fly someone up to the moon to replace it?

[–] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've heard that the American flag has been bleached completely white by the sun, so in a way the lunar lander has already surrendered

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Great, now the Americans are gonna wanna waste resources flying someone up there with a new flag.

Workers of the moon, unite!

Who is going to be the first space brick-layer ?

Sending the working class to space undertakes a new meaning, not just explorative and scientific, but to work.

Space construction workers will be the first truly working class job that leaves this planet.

{嫦娥八号|Chang'e 8} will lay the first bricks on the moon in 2029. So whoever's sending the commands at mission control for that could be called the first space brick-layer.

Ready for my new life as a belter

Working class in space except it's socialist and hopeful instead of the usual capitalism in space dystopia.

Star Trek kinda touches on this with the engineering workers on the ships but socialism taking construction workers to space gives me such a vibe to think about.

God, I wish so hard right now that we'd won the Cold War and that the hope and optimism and constant scientific progress of the Space Race era was still upon us.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It'll come back, it's the long game. Dark period in history though for sure

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah. Born too late to experience the hope of the early first Cold War, born probably too early to witness (hopefully) communism winning the next one, my generation got pretty unlucky.

Someone has to turn it around, might as well be us.

Marco Inaros did nothing wrong

[–] Scarry@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Can we talk about how they kill Marco, and then just do exactly what he wanted? IIRC He wanted an independent Belter nation and an union run(?) Medina Station?

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Sometimes it goes like that the-doohickey

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 month ago

My guess is that robots will be doing a lot of the initial work. I can see those Unitree bots being able to do a lot of manual labor in the near future.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I want a quaint little moonbrick house.

Bricks produced on site can be used to build roads and structures on the moon

This is a waste of time until they develop a better hull for moon-fairing ships. Everyone knows the moon's prospects are primarily tied to its bountiful whaling fisheries.

Moon getting bricked up

US Wolf in shambles.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yay China etc etc, but I'm not excited about anyone building anything on the moon.

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I, on the other hand, am extremely excited about building stuff on the moon because that will open up the rest of solar system to serious exploration.

[–] crazyminner@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

China even does colonialism better. No one gets hurt in this type of colonialism.
