I agree with this proposal. Maybe not now becasue other things need our focus, there seems to be a resource debate, and when we have sorted these things out, ie. invented asustainable ion drive engine driven space craft, Then we should go. I say yay.

We deserve this free breakaway as the Eastern Suburbs have won a major court case against the "culprits" who were responsible for the delay tactics in rebuilding and revitalising our area;the USA(already setld in NZ) will set up our free space centre

This looks like an interesting tool that could be used by communities for a range of discussions.

When will this holiday be?
Steve CarterWed 19 Sep 2012 4:54AM
Well, 3 reasons:
- There's a reason humanity never returned after Apollo 17......scary moon monsters. Have yous not seen 'Apollo 18'?
- Anyway, it belongs to the USA (they planted their flag!) so the post 9/11 immigration hassles would be immense
- Besides, as parties go, it would have no atmosphere
Can it, and let's have a fire on the beach ;o)

the moon is far too precious to allow the likes of us riffraff humans there to muck it up...

Good question Matt- the proposal doesn't allow for a date.

The idea of a holiday sounds fantastic, my preference though would be a tropical beach!! The idea of incorporating it into a team building exercise would be ok too, best someone start looking for funding opportunities to support this
Cheers Frances

what a fantastic way to have a conversation - opens up all sorts of possibilities (that may or not be available on the moon) do they have WiFi there??

Not for me, thanks. The view would be great, but other entertainment opportunities are limited. No swimming, no hiking except in large cumbersome suits, and the shopping is abysmal.

That'll be great - we can have a "swim" in space on the way to the moon, enjoy little gravity... and for those of us progressing in life: less wrinkles and aches from carrying own weight, visit the botanic gardens with plants growing weird directions (in our specially designed "tropical domes") or just regenerate and soak in the great views on the blue planet and the universe...let's go!

A moon hopper in the garden is as close as I want to get to this kind of holiday!

Great proposal, helping me get a feel for how this might work: ready for when the real decisions need making.
