Ok, so let's say the amazing asteroid deflector fails. We got a back up plan.

I'd like to know how they would get back to Earth. Don't they need those schlubs at NASA?

Lunar Ark? Lolwut? What good will it do?

Hey guys, we're saved but the entire Earth civilisation has died off. Time to get back and see if we can make arrowheads for hunting.
Wine in hand, in the other, Quran,
Both halal I do and haram,
In this incomplete world of a sham,
Neither Pagan I am, nor Musselman!


Omar Khayyam

Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, idolater, worshipper of fire,
Come even though you have broken your vows a thousand times,
Come, and come yet again.
Ours is not a caravan of despair

Dare I mention how long they'd have to sit on the moon for before the Earth becomes habitable again, and in turn the amount of resources they'd require, you know the kind only a mother Earth can provide.

Look at this as an advancement, and not an invention. What this advancement shows us is that one day we could take an ark to Mars, or someother planet; sure it might not survivable, but I'm sure plenty would still do it :D

They will need to stay up there for a long time, How will they create a way of making a breathable source of air whilst they're stuck on the moon? and what will they drink? At the moment most of the evidence points towards there being no ice on the moon.

They're gonna need a hell of a lot of supplies.
However I'm not an expert (I'm probably talking a load of crap), so hopefully they'll think of a way to create oxygen and water.

I agree with you as per that they would need a ton of supplies and time to create their station. But what is so different from this than creating the ISS?

According to this page:

Its not as hard as we thought it was. :lol:

How to get air on the moon:
Obtaining breathable air, in the form of oxygen, is fairly easy on the moon. The soil on the moon contains oxygen, which can be harvested using heat and electricity.

How to get water on the moon
Water is trickier. There is now some evidence that there may be water, in the form of buried ice that has collected at the south pole of the moon. If so, water mining might be possible, and it would solve a lot of problems. Water is necessary for drinking and irrigation, and can also be converted to hydrogen and oxygen for use as rocket fuel.

How to get food on the moon:
Food is also a problem. One person eats about 450 pounds of dehydrated food per year. A whole colony of people would require tons of food. The first thought that anyone on Earth would have is, "Grow the food on the moon." We think that way because here on Earth, chemicals like carbon and nitrogen are freely available in the atmosphere, and minerals are freely available in the Earth’s soil. A ton of wheat is made up of a ton of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, potassium, phosphorous, and so on. To grow a ton of wheat, you will have to import all the chemicals not readily available on the moon. Once the first crop is in, and as long as the colony's population is stable, then the chemicals can be reused in a natural cycle. The plant grows, a person eats it, and the person excretes it as solid waste, liquid waste and carbon dioxide in the breath. These waste products then nourish the next batch of plants. But you still have to get tons of food or chemicals to the moon to start the cycle.

Dumb luck, the moon will also get hit.
