What’s the point in mining the Moon if we’re just gonna leave what’s been mined there? Of course it would be removed.

We might use the mined materials to build stuff on the moon. Even if we were mining to bring resources back there’ll be a lot of stuff dug up that we don’t want so we’d obviously want to leave that there. We’d need to process the ore on the moon to extract the small amount of material that we’re after.

Where did you get that 10% is what would be required to affect the tides? Why don’t we just say it’s 90% to back your point up even more?

90% would be an obviously ridiculous number to use so would undermine their argument. Assuming their numbers are correct then it would take 10,000,000 years to remove 1% of the moon. And we wouldn’t remove all of the material that we mine so we’d take even longer than that to actually remove 1%.

Having said that, I really don’t agree with the sentiment of letting people do what they want on the moon because it won’t affect us. We should be more considerate of every environment just as a matter of principle.

Plenty of jobs at less than £90k/year say that you’re not allowed a second job.

We kind of have a 3 party system in the UK with the third party being a mix of parties. There’s no realistic chance of anyone except the Conservative and Labour parties to win the majority in parliament. Sometimes the two main parties need the support of one of the other parties to get a majority.

I think that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland might be the same but the two main parties are different for them.

I don’t know why Musk would support Reform UK as that wouldn’t really increase the chances of them forming a government in the time of his short attention span. The best that he can hope for is for them to become the third largest party in the next election but that would stuff the Conservatives chances of winning that election because most of Reform UK votes would come from them.

Blocking X would be a good start.
