Scientists plan to melt moondust to make lunar roads. Astronauts may have to do more moon-driving than moon-walking during future missions.::If we want space missions to be successful, we need to build Moon roads. Scientists plan to use lasers and moondust - here’s how.
Someone tell the c/FuckCars people, this’ll really piss them off lol
Cars are great, if there are few. Can’t have everyone in one when you live densely.
Those damn murder machines keep ruining all that perfectly good moon cheese. They should simply walk the 13 miles to the mission location instead.
Lol, those people are worse than preachy vegans and Linux supremecists combined. They’re one of the few communities I’ve blocked completely.
Talk to Cave Johnson about the dangers of ground up moon rocks…
Cruising in an old chrysler with Frank Sinatra on speakers. Fly me to the moon.

While the moon has basically no atmosphere, I don’t think it would matter much. Plenty of lunar dust would get blown around by the force of the engines, and the mass or that dust would contribute. Beyond that, the exhaust itself has a lot of force, and is probably plenty.

Look at the Apollo missions taking off, it’s quite violent for the surround area.

Almost no atmosphere on the moon.
Should the headline be “discovered” instead of “plan”? Plan makes it sound like this is in work despite discovering how to do that so recently.
I keep hearing about going to the moon building this and that but when was last time man set foot there? Just do it already.
Not much point sending people there without any real purpose. Much cheaper and safer to send probes to gather whatever scientific data we need.
There’s one thing they seem to be forgetting.
How the fuck are they gonna send that many people to warrant the road-building? I mean, they could, but would definitely break their banks.
I saw a report recently about a 3D printing company that plans to use moon dust for concrete to build lunar housing.
Counting Crows and Vanessa Carlton are tuning their instruments…
And what’s going to protect the lens from the lunar dust?
They might need a diamond lens or something.
Just put the laser high enough above the ground, like in orbit, and nothing will ever reach the lens.
