moon hotel by 2032 is melon-musk levels of fake timetable

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 37 points 2 days ago

I feel like if a new startup suggested they were going to build a regular hotel on Earth in a place with good access to infrastructure, that would still be an overly optimistic timeframe unless they already had preexisting already-approved plans and ownership of the lot.

Like it's not completely materially infeasible to suggest that a well funded and well connected organization could put like a little prefab shack on the moon within the next 6 years, that might be hypothetically safe enough that as long as nothing went wrong someone could survive in it for a few days before leaving, but that would still be stretching plausibility. A startup is just gonna pocket the money and string investors along as long as they can instead, because why accomplish the shitty-but-materially-possible when you can keep saying "yeah bro just a few billion more dollars bro you can relax in your moon hotel served by robot god bro it'll be sweet bro just another trillion dollars bro" to the most credulous rubes alive and making bank doing that with no consequences ever.

It's as simple as 1-2-3!

  1. Go to Moon
  2. Build hotel on Moon
  3. Take people to hotel

Zerg rush the Moon!

I just saw a clip from one of the more recent Elon interviews on Joe Rogan where he was talking about colonizing Mars.

He started by saying "Just warm Mars up... Release CO2 and frozen water". And even Joe Fucking Rogan was like "How would you do that". And Elon said "you could build a miniature Sun" (!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!). And then he mentioned using nuclear weapons.

So Elon Musk's bullshit is way way more advanced than building a hotel on the Moon. A Moon hotel is easy in comparison.

If it were China's space agency saying that I'd believe it. Fortunately they are to based to even consider building an hotel for rich peoples, of all things, on the moon.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

I believe CNSA's time estimates because they are sensible, achievable, proceed logically from one step to the next, and have a record of being accurate.

Tbh I support the existence of a million dollar ticket to a death trap steering-device

[–] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The rocket explodes on the ground and they never to get to the death trap melon-musk

[–] lil_tank@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

The mean to reach it being a death trap too certainly makes it better

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago

these assholes couldn't build a hotel in Paramus, NJ by 2032.

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

I love the very precise number, that makes it all so very believable. Also, even the "Cross on the Moon Coalition" hasn't made any progress, now I'm supposed to believe there will be a hotel on the Moon? WHERE IS MY CROOS ON THE MOON

[–] reaper_cushions@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

Let’s hope for a merry steering-device

2032

I love these sorts of "by year X" grifts. When they were figuring out - you know they debated making the year 2036 but they decided that 10 years was too far away. 2031 is a nice round number so I assume some of the guys pushed for that year but maybe this happened...

"2031? That sounds fake and made up. Just five years? How about 2033?"

"Nah. It needs to be sooner so we can get that money. 2032? Sounds good to me."

And a third guy says "Yeah, 2032. Goldilocks Zone..."

you can become an investor by investing in my yummy moon coin, the first crypto currency that utilizes cheese technology on the cheese board chain. it's guarantied to be an investment and it's delicious!

I'm doing exactly this for a contract in Kerbal Space Program to-the-moon

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

“Hotel on the moon” it’s not a hotel on the moon you lying fuckface fucks. It’s a dabbing station on the moon where the ultra rich will go and dab. It serves no other purpose.

GRU Space

They're going to make Minions real too?

[–] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

a whitepaper more full of assumptions, assertions, and Despicable Me–themed hyperbole (“It’s time to steal the Moon” - really?) than actual technical details

agony-minion next you're gonna tell me they secured funding from the Bank of Evil (formerly Lehman Brothers)

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 days ago

Is that the moon base from iron sky? Or just meant to look like the nazi moon base from iron sky?

That shit looks like the moon palace from Killer is Dead.

This is the type of financial scam backed up by bullshit "visions for the future" that passes for innovation in late stage capitalism folks.

How about we shoot all billionaires into the sun instead?

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

that would cost a lot of delta-v compared to all the other options of things we could shoot billionaires into. i think it would be fun, if a bit messy, to build a billionaire accelerator and shoot them into each other.

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

A billionaire centrifuge. For enriching billionaires.

[–] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Hotel on the moon? Ha that's stupid kid shit. Mr investor sir I present to you my startup! Hotel in the sun!

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

Of course it's ycombinator.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

Can untrained humans even go to space without feeling like shit? I doubt that an average porky-happy can even handle the G's.

[–] take_five_moments@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

seems like a good setting for a horror/suspense movie of some type, like gravity but more spooky/atmospheric horror

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

And people will work there, yes? Under which country's labor laws would this be under? How would any crimes here be stopped, caught, and prosecuted?

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Rooms you can see the giant cross on the moon from will cost even more

Damn I can't believe my favorite Arctic Monkeys album is getting an IRL adaptation

[–] feelingyourselfdisintergrate@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It is the best Arctic Monkeys album, isn't it?

Suck It And See is so good, too, that I don't know which one is better.
