@NASAJohnson reminds me that i still can't figure out how to load airpods, the tech barrier to entry for lunar colonization is shockingly lower than the barrier to entry for tuesdays

Elon Musk: We should build a science station on the Moon. “Along the way we could do very cool things like have a moon base like Moon Base Alpha. Long ago there was a TV show about Moon Base Alpha. You couldn't think about the physics of that too much because apparently the moon base was like drifting away from Earth. But anyway, we should have a Moon Base Alpha, which is the next step after the Apollo program. You could have like a gigantic science station doing research about the nature of the universe on the Moon. It would be very cool.” SpaceX Update, May 27, 2025

Developed at NASA Langley, SCALPSS, or Stereo Cameras for Lunar Plume-Surface Studies, will fly on four commercial lunar landers in 2028 as part of NASA’s Moon Base Program. The instrument helps researchers understand crater formation and the characteristics of ejected materials during landings—critical insight as larger landers touch down closer together. Last year, SCALPSS captured this first‑of‑its‑kind imagery during Firefly’s Blue Ghost Mission 1. Listen as Moon Base Program Manager Carlos García-Galán talked about the importance of SCALPSS during the lander announcement on June 30. Learn more about NASA's Moon Base Program:

BREAKING: NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announces plans to build a PERMANENT U.S. base on the Moon—the plan rolls out in three phases: rover and tech deployments, semi-habitable infrastructure for astronauts, and ultimately a permanent human presence on the lunar surface. Isaacman called it “humanity’s first permanent surface outpost beyond Earth."

Elon Musk: We've got to have a serious science base on the moon "We got to get back to the moon and build a base there. A science base. I think we could learn a lot about the nature of the universe if we have a proper science base on the moon. We have a science base in Antarctica and many other parts of the world. So that's, I think, the next big thing. We've got to have a serious moon base and then get people to Mars, you know, get out there and be a space-faring civilization."

WITHOUT REUSABILITY, STARSHIP WOULD HAVE ABOUT 400 TONS OF PAYLOAD TO ORBIT "Starship is fully reusable, with twice the payload to orbit of the next biggest rocket that made it to orbit, which is the Saturn V Without reusability, Starship would have about 400 tons of payload to orbit So, this is a very big rocket, is what I'm saying. But you need a big rocket to make life multi-planetary And then along the way, we could do very cool things like have a moon base, like Moon Base Alpha.
