obviously drones (without the propellers of course), and something that could chuck a moon rock on a ballistic trajectory could probably put a 5 ton boulder right on top of a target from a thousand kilometers away no problem

Just letting /sfg/ know I have an old issue of Astronomy magazine in one of my crates and it had an article on "terraforming" the planets and even gave a detailed account of how much water/O2/N etc needs to be dumped on the moon to turn it into a comfortable shirt-sleeve environment ie 1bar/70 deg F and inb4 as I recall the low gravity necessitates a lot of atmospheric mass (like more than the Earth's even) and this provides a great deal of protection from radiation/cosmic rays etc. Would be nice to have a low-g vacation spot just a few days travel away, and I'm hoping that /sfg/ will help me push for this to be NASA's follow-on to the SLS/Artemis program (like an Artemis-Applications program) as I think it would be cool if we made it happen and very beneficial to vacationers everywhere.
