As the fartographer, master of his trade as to be colloquially recognized with the royal THE, was saying, afew years back some NASA intern was caught stealing moon rocks from the Apollo missions and boinkin' some ladies over top of them. Scandalous, but legendary. I can see the appeal

... in New Mexico? To be fair I've never been and I assume it was named such for a reason, but I just want to make sure I'm not being trolled and ask, don't they speak English there?

What would happen if one were to stop spinning? Could one even stop spinning?

I thought so as well but the article says the spin doesn't match the accretion disc, I'm not sure if that's s significant aspect of the discovery possibly? I'm not well versed in relativity to be honest

Edit: forgive me, someone below said pretty much this

Could you give me a rundown of the mealworm colony? Got a Leo who enjoys mealies, waxworms and crickets

Hmm, I think a huge thing you've overlooked is using the moon as a staging area like maximum Derek said above. We stockpile fuel, food, etc. And maybe even begin to manufacture vessels there to save from using a vessel stressed from an earthly launch. Would make Mars trips easier, asteroid missions, the like

Edit to add: I wouldn't be surprised if there's still some forms of metallurgy or other processes that can be discovered with a continuous scientific base on the moon, that they couldn't attempt on the ISS or replicate here in vacuum
