    I like the idea of patriotism being defined by which tectonic plate you happen to be standing on though - nevermind which you were born on, or which your ethnic group hails from - whatever tectonic plate you are on, that's the one to which you now swear fealty people!

    Apparently, you think non-continental Europeans don't have the right to feel proud of European accomplishments. Sucks to be British, Irish, Faroese, Icelandish, etc.
    Nowhere I said that.

    British have traditionally identified themselves as British instead of Europeans (who are the people across the pond). Also, Nordic people have traditionally identified as Nordic instead of European.

    They used to be, being two different things after all.

    My family is patriotically drifting away from my adopted motherplate :S.
    Anyhow, we don't get to annex the moon as a state of our glorious plate?

    So do the French, Germans, Hungarians, nationality comes before everything else. That doesn't mean they're exclusive or that every british person has to feel the same.

    Thanks for your insightful input.
    Now you're just being snappy. Lets not forget that you derailed the thread with "European cherrypicking".

    Yes I derailed, but I wasn't putting words in others' mouth, though.

    America is currently on Mars while Europe is talking about a future project to the moon. Stuff like this makes me proud to be an American.

    No amount of 3D printed objects or a few feet of lunar soil is going to protect against lunar impacts. They also don't fall from the sky, the moon has no "sky". They are hurled through space anywhere from 80,000 miles per hour and up, way way up. A 10 inch rock traveling at 80,000 miles per hour did as much damage as 8,000 pounds of TNT: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news...lunarsporadic/

    Imagine a 2 foot wide rock traveling at 500,000 miles per hour. That's nuclear levels of destruction. Nobody would survive that, and the moon has had countless types of such impacts over its lifetime.

    Odds are, if an actual moon base comes to be (it probably won't, because it's a stupid idea), people will die, repeatedly.

    The whole thing should be built underground.

    They never were exclusive, just that the people with that kind of mindset were the majority at that time. And it's not surprising considering the history of European relations in the last few centuries.


    Yes I derailed, but I wasn't putting words in others' mouth, though.
    I didn't put words in other people's mouths either. But if someone from Iceland considers himself european then who are you to stop them? Them identifying as such would not be incorrect from either a geographical or ethnic point of view.

    Yeah but are you geographically a real American.

    On topic, this can be a great if they pull it off.

    idk, voice of reason perhaps?

    But culturally, it would be incorrect.

    Higher than you think. On Earth, most are destroyed by our atmosphere. The Moon does not have that layer of protection. Think about the various yearly meteor showers we have here on Earth. What you are seeing is those particles burning up in our atmosphere. Now imagine the same thing happening on the moon. Meteorites with diameters of about 1 mm strike the Earth's atmosphere about once every 30 seconds. to give you an idea.

    Sounds amazing, and I hope it comes to pass. What worries me is the gravitational pull of the moon putting the lunar base in danger of asteroid impact. The ISS hadn't that much of a problem.
    How could the lunar station possibly deal with a large asteroid coming close at high speed? My thought it, they could only pray and hope I'm wrong on the existence of god.
