Not Enough Uranium In The Moon

Bad news for colonists and lunar nazis: Contrary to previous reports, there’s not enough uranium in the Moon to guarantee nuclear power or commercial exploitation. That’s what cosmochemist Robert Reedy, part of the Japanese Kaguya spacecraft science team, says:

Forget things like uranium mines or nuclear reactors,. The concentrations are very far from being of commercial levels.

What I want to know is the concentration of cheese. [Space]

    who cares. us finally colonizing the moon at this stage would be the equivalent of a sad 17 year old “camping out” in his back yard.

      Nice analogy.

      I think a terraformed Mars would be awesome.
