THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
Americans going back to the moon is a colossal waste of money. There's nothing up there but dirt and rocks.
A lot of things we use in everyday life come from dirt and rocks...
Calling other men "betas" doesn't mean you aren't a "beta" yourself.
There is no such thing as "Alphas" or "Betas". The concept is used as an excuse for childish behavior.
"Alphas" are simply assholes who mistake being a selfish, arrogant bully with being confident and assertive.
They also mistake levelheadedness, having a sense of fairness and being reasonable as weaknesses. People like that are supposedly "Betas."

America's decline is not due to socialist coddling, but to a subscription to Objectivist dogma that selfishness is good and empathy for those you don't know is folly.
I just find it hilarious that some guys throw that term around to insult other men when by their own definitions the term could be applied to them.
Dude: "America is being ruined by these Beta men with no drive who are too afraid of women these days!"
Me: "Um, aren't you a single man with no job living off your family?"
Dude: *sputter* "This is an ad hominem attack!"
Parroting whatever insult they hear or read on the internet without checking their own situation would fit their poor character. Overcompensating for their own feelings of low self esteem.
Sorry Mojo. I may be dense, but I can't tell where you're going with this.

The silicon used in computer chips is basically highly refined quartz, ie beach sand.
And the Moon is also rich in He3, a good fuel for nuclear fusion. Plus water, which is hydrogen and oxygen, which is rocket fuel. If we are to get serious about space exploration, even going to Mars,
it makes more sense to build and fuel spacecraft on the moon and launch them from the moon where the gravity is what, one sixth that of Earth.
The Moon is rich in water? I know it has a lot of seas but...
When i was a little girl i LOVED collecting model cars (still do), Hotwheels, Matchbox cars etc, i ESPECIALLY loved exotic super cars. But when i got older i realized that they were ugly (at least the newer ones), and highly impractical.
