Description

let's keep trying this insane challenge.

by 2040: Means we should accomplish this goal by this year. Before is preferred. Con can assess impossibility of such a timeframe or waste of resources.

colonize: (of a country or its citizens) send a group of settlers to (a place) and establish political control over it.

The Moon: an astronomical body orbiting Earth and is the planet's only natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest satellite in the Solar System, and by far[13] the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits.[f] The Moon is, after Jupiter's satellite Io, the second-densest satellite in the Solar System among those whose densities are known.

No kritics (Ex. "aliens should colonize the moon instead of humanity...")

we could redo this except "We should colonize mars" instead if you want. The edeb8 title of "SEEK to colonize" is a really weird wording

@Intelligence_06

wow you are brave man

@seldiora

100 is not enough.

@RationalMadman

don't worry. I'll probably extend this to higher characters if nobody accepts in a few days.

-->
@seldiora

thanks for warning me, i probably wouldn't have noticed

-->
@RationalMadman

done. Though I'm not entirely convinced you can back up that it's a waste of resources using only 20 words.

-->
@seldiora

you need to set constraints to the time-span of the plan, so that Con can argue it's a waste of resources in that span of time.
