Maybe they're worried that a flying car could accidentally escape the moon's gravity well, or something. You know, fly too high, and suddenly you've been slingshotted towards Pluto.
At the very least they should be talking hovercraft, you think?
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Except hovercrafts float on a cushion of air, so NSM on the moon....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are any of the mechanical principles on which a hovercraft operates altered a great deal by moon gravity/air pressure? I guess wheels are wheels. They go round.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think we probably came off like HUAC, except with file cabinets.
Hee!
I remember now why I like not-working when I'm here at work: Everyone here is a FUCKING JOKER. I'm making followup calls on something that no one got already. So not so much with the following up, see? For an event on Thursday, that people have to pay to go to. Are they kidding me with this?

I'm hoping that the new War of the Worlds movie will stimulate interest in tripod moon vehicles.

It's space! Why can't I have an aircar?
Well, if it's space, then there isn't much air for an aircar.

Blah. Just had the 401K briefing at work. I hate that. I know I should be saving, but I don't want less money where I can reach it. It makes sense, yet I fear.
I guess I need to admit that there's no point saving for a house right now. But what about when the bubble bursts? I could have a downpayment ... money is so complicated. I always (falsely) feel that saving a little is no use.

If you're going to be literal and make sense, then you can't play.

Oh, and another issue that hasn't been explored yet regarding a moon base - can a moon base be defended from zombies? Can zombies survive without air? Can zombies successfully amble on the moon? Would the moon's 1/6 gravity enable zombies to walk normally rather than amble? What would be the most effective anti-zombie weapon on the moon?
