There is no moon colony in the works. Personally, I would prefer a lunar to martian collony, but that is assuming international support, which we will lack. As of now, we need the privacy and increased if only a little sustainability.

There's no soil on the moon. Only regolith. Regolith not like soil. It is like finely ground glass shards.
Couldn't we figure out something? Grind up underground rocks, maybe?

Colony on the far side of Luna? We could call it Larson Base.

Why not? Are moon rocks different from Earth rocks? Soil is, after all, little more than rocks and nutrients.

You didn't specify adding nutrients. And why do we need soil? Hydroponics is a thing, y'know.

I;m serious people, no moon. You can go there with your own personal cash if you wish, but you have no access to Bay12 resources orequipment.

Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on Luna first, though? Closer, so we don't have to expend as many resources to get there. Lower gravity, which would make launches easier.

No. Too much scrutiny. Other Humans have been there, and can fuck up our plans bad. Besides, it would be visible from earth, almost to the naked eye, and certainly to telescopes. Do we really need that when we're bust breeding eldritch monstrosities?

The answer is still no. It was put to a vote damnit. And I'm prime minister, so shut up.

Well, as leader of the Enigneering Corps, I may have to stage a Coup. You don't fuck with the engineers. We fuck shit up. By designing and making shit.

No. I am Prime minister. I was voted into office. You have no real power. I have full liberty to give you power and to strip you of your position at a moments notice. You are bloody technocrat.
