We have one moon; one freaking moon and you want to mine it?🤦🏻‍♀️

Private companies=unchecked violations and 0 accountability

I'm saddened by the number of people who think mining a lifeless moon is 'ruining' it. Your free to have your opinion obviously but I think that life is what gets ruined by unsustainable practices

Gross.

Arrrgh.

I say leave it alone.

Why

Mine Uranus

Isn't this where they call Harry Stamper?

For what?

That’s great. We’ve already ruined the one planet we have, now let’s recruit commercial interests to ruin its satellite

All NASA needs to do is search for a certain Sir Peter Weyland. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Why don't people understand that we shouldn't mess with something that helps maintain our planet?!!!!!! The moon is worth more than any money! There will be riots before that happens!

Is there permission ? By who?

crazy idea, as usual. by the way, do US own the moon?

How about fixing Earth first? Priorities.

Capitalism sees everything as dead. Everything must be mined and stripped for profit, it doesn't matter if it literally destroys nature.

For those saying mining on the moon will affect the tides on the Earth please note the moon's mass is 7.3459×10^22 kilograms How much do you think mining will be able to extract and bring back? How much mass is added to the moon each day by meteor impacts? Science ignorance

Not even the moon is safe from American imperialism

Y r u doing this? Its not ur private property. U have had enough distruction of earth. Now please bear moon...its not ur own. Its ours also . Its the property of life in other plants. Leave it for the coming generations..

Earth first! We’ll destroy the other planets (and moons) later.

Homo Sapiens ruining everything they touch for 400,000 years

NASA's solicitation does not require return of samples, contrary to this report.

Christ on a bike. 'Yeah okay, so gravity and the earth's tides & minor considerations like that, but y'know, there's money in it.'

Send for the usual suspects who already own the Earth. Rothschilds, Rockefeller’s, you know the 12 Illuminati families. Let’s hope in future they encounter some genuinely philanthropic galactic ‘good guys’ who deal with them with a long trip to another galaxy far, far away.

Not cool

Parasite seeks new host.

_________ people ruin everything.

No way. How stupid is this?

Oh NASA so much integrity

There’s already Moon Rakers up there. Arch Angels that crash lunar landers.

fucks sake leave it alone we’ve done enough damage on the earth

Would this not affect the tidal conditions on Earth?

For god sake, leave the moon alone

I despair for the human race and its incessant greed. You mess with the moon, you mess with the earths tides. You mess with this planet. It's time that any corporation that accelerates this planets demise should be confronted and boycotted, their shareholders vilified.

Haven’t we done enough damage to the Earth ?

Not now NASA

Anything they take from the moon is theft.

Well, I think most SciFy fans know that. I can just see it now...Coke advertisements on the side of supply transports and stuff like that, talk about product placement.

Seriously? As if stuffing the world up is not enough! leavethemoonalone saynotocapitalism

They already solved earth problems, Moon next. Or When you polluted, destroy and dirty your homeplant , you move to a new unspoiled place and start again.

Cathedral City in the running.

In the name of the US God Mammon they think they can do all and everything? God,no,this failed country is so pathetic

Please leave the damn moon alone. Just don't. No good will come from that.

Collecting samples is not mining. theguardiansucks

Isn’t enough destroying the earth?

How stupid . Can't just mess up the earth, gotta go to space too .

Let's hope there are no sacred Aboriginal sites there!

Not sure why they would imagine that they have the right to mine the moon.

Don’t mess with the moon. Greedy selfish exploitative humans. F***with nature and she’ll f*** you right back ten-fold.

Sure. As if we haven’t degraded this planet enough, let’s expand operations to the moon too. Makes sense.

That's fucking crazy! Mining will upset da balance btwn the moon & earth! & What abt a stoopid blasting mistake? It happens on ThisPlanet all the time Does 45 know that the moon is like it's own spaceship? A big blast on 1 side could alter its orbit... Talk abt an Apocalypse!

Isn't it violation of outer space treaty?

Will it effect the tides of the ocean? I guess we'll find out 🌙

this is bullshit... there is so much wrong with it I don't even know where to begin...

is it not possible for business interest in this case mining, to leave other planets in peace

How is their Planet Protection Officer working out for them...? Did he or she Arrest any Aliens lately? and the Moon will not enjoy it,, by the way....

Yet another part of our government that I am very hopeful that my fellow Americans can reclaim our rightful ownership of soon, from the corporate interests that have been controlling them for decades.

I know a bloke called Arthur Scargill... If you convene a meeting, agree to Union demands ...including a lifetime supply of nutty slack ... He's in. Brother.

They’ll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge too.

Mine the moon? Does NASA own the moon? What right do you have? Earth not enough for you to destroy?

arent there at least a few movies where they mine the moon and its an apocalyptically bad idea?

Yea haven’t we destroyed enough of earth? Let’s destroy the moon!!!

So, in answer the the Canned Heat song: 2020!

ManMadeMoon I presume you’re doing the promotional video?

I'm good at mime.

Humans never learn, we deserve everything that's coming.

It is NOT Nasa It is a government agency called NASA, stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration Can you please spell it RIGHT ? And fix your spell checker You keep doing this

TANSTAAFL!

Idiots. Help is needed down here, on Earth

Time for falling tides and dark nights!

No Moon no life on Earth. I am not an astrophysicist but that much I know. Sure, go mess with the moon for profit.

It bloody well doesn't belong to them.

Who wants to mine for cheese?

How about they try to get there first? 😏

like earth wasn't enough to destroy

As if we haven't done enough damage to the planet we're living on..... let's go and f*ck up somewhere else.

Not content with ravaging our own planet......

Not the moon pls ...leave it alone..we've already done enough damage to one celestial body!

No wonder the moon is moving farther away.

No one comes forward for Saving a planet but there are hell of people who wanna pump the shit put of the world ! So It won’t be difficult for NASA to find a suitable company for this ! Peace ✌️

Have a word with Chris Grayling.

Ah shit, here we go again.

The moon is mine

Are they scared of Aliens that they can't do it themselves?
