Title: There are roads on the Moon and Mars
Post by: X99 on April 01, 2019, 03:24:38 PM
There are roads on the Moon. The moon rovers created tire tracks that are still visible to this day, making them track roads. The roads on Mars carry the same designation, but they were created by the Mars robots. None of the roads on Mars connect to each other, making it a very ineffective system. The roads on the Moon, however, are almost all connected, and all we need to add now is pavement and a Mobil gas station at the main intersection.

At least Mars hasn't exploded yet.

Not exactly. There are probably overlapping tracks at each moon landing site but each of those sites is well-separated from the others. Hadley Rille, Descartes, and Taurus-Littrow (Apollo 15-17) were the only sites with rovers, although at Fra Mauro (14) and Oceanus Procellarum (12) there was a wheeled cart, like a wheelbarrow or rickshaw, to carry scientific equipment.

Oh - wait, was I not supposed to take you seriously? Sorry.....

Then we need to connect the sites, but that wouldn't take much work if they're all in the same general area of the Moon, right?

I don't think anyone has ever proposed a Moon-Mars highway (except in Pennsylvania), only Earth-Moon and Earth-Mars.

If by 'same general area', you mean within 990mi/1600km, then, yes, they're in the...same...general...area....

Then start at the flag and connect all the paths to that. It might take a while, so we should probably build the Mobil first.

You're more likely to get killed by a Weeping Angel (statues, but only when observed) or the Vashta Nerada (the reason most sentient creatures have an instinctual fear of the dark).
