@billiamz If we could only find oil on the moon, then we could go and liberate the moon people.

I've started showing people this video when I am asked why I am an astronomer.

"They wanted to know who was visiting the moon these days."

@85Damix perhaps, perhaps not.. very like it will take a long time, however, we might try to invent something and.. well.. like silly putty x3

[85Damix]

@pielover8888 that will take centuries, maybe thousand years.

@kuzzlenuzzle Well what I want more than anything is to become a Physician and I'm well on my way, but I am actually considering spending another year in undergrad to take more physics classes and learn as much as I can about the world around us before taking on the specialized field of medicine.
