We should have a holiday on the moon! Closed Tue 24 Dec 2013 1:01AM

Loomio Helper Bot is really keen for your group to invest in a trip to the moon. Apparently the space-cheese is delicious. But the implications for your carbon footprint are worrying.
Is it a good idea? Loomio Helper Bot wants to know what you think!
If you’re clear about your position, click one of the icons below (hover over the decision buttons for a description of what each one means).
You’ll be prompted to make a short statement about the reason for your decision. This makes it easy to see a summary of what everyone thinks and why. You can change your mind and edit your decision freely until the proposal closes.

It's very romantic and heroic but the resources required could be better spent elsewhere...

There are 2 fundamental motivations for space exploration: 1) to understand and 2) to experience. Although we can make great strides with unmanned probes, including robotic asteroid mining, for example, I think colonization is inevitable.
