idk but if i had to make a guess it would have to be how gravity is calculated. the g in g=(Gxm1xm2)/r2 that is the acceleration due to gravity, the moon is tiny compared to earth or any planet. no the m1 m2 are the masses of said celestial bodies so in this case earth and the moon, so if you look at mass1(earth) vs mass2(moon) the amount of gravity will be larger on the earth vs the moon. to put it simply the earth has way to strong a magnetic gravitational field you cannot orbit the moon its gravity is corrupted by earth
This is a weird guess since the moon has over 500 satellites in orbit
based on the premise of no satellites orbiting the moon it is a good guess. also depends on the perceived definition of satellites. since any piece of rock orbiting a celestial body is technically a satellite
500 man-made satellites are in orbit around the moon
Fair enough, but what about a rover?
How long does it take to get there? We should have had many in the 70s and many more years later.
The thing is that we don’t really think that we have much more we can learn from the moon. It’s not about whether we can or can’t send a rover there, it’s about ‘why would we?’ We know what the atmosphere and surface are made up of and that there’s not anything of significant value or purpose to us.
Mars is consistently doing things that surprise us; changes in atmospheric composition, newfound geologic structures, etc.
The moon hasn’t done anything to surprise us in 70 years
mars has an atmosphere hence it has the capacity for teraforming. we can try all sorts of things with mars
There's invisible dinosaurs on the moon.
imo it comes down to value, the only value to going to the moon was to say we did it first. you cant mine the moon we use to many resources just to get into orbit let alone use it as a form of consumption. if we put things to crash to earth say a big block of iron it would cause huge amounts of pollution in the atmosphere aswell as destroy where ever it hit. there is no ecenomical venue to be gained from going to the moon except political power
Moon military base. We could drop those rods of god from there.
The space station would be outclassed by a moon base as far as a scientific laboratory.
We could open a casino for billionaires there as well casino de la Luna. Hot alien bartenders with 3 tits...
