Passenger Trains > More studies required for railroad on the MoonDate: 03/26/24 12:55 More studies required for railroad on the Moon Author: Mgoldman All aboard the moon train: DARPA is trying to figure out how to build a lunar railroad
Business Insider: https://www.businessinsider.com/darpa-futuristic-lunar-railroad-solutions-astronauts-living-moon-2024-3 With the United States planned return to the Moon by 2025, give or a take a a few years, DARPA tasked US aerospace and defense tech firm Northrop Grumman to develop a concept for a lunar railway. No doubt the urgency to fund studies now. Seriously, considering how long it's taking the CA HSR project to move along, perhaps now is a good time. The added costs that could be saved not having to deal with lunar eminent domain, for instance. /Mitch Date: 03/26/24 13:06 Re: More studies required for railroad on the Moon Author: ExStarlightHog I guess it'll have to be electric, since internal combustion is out of the question. Going to take a powerful rocket to get all that steel up there. Good luck.

That context should become moot pretty soon, so it's better to forget (mocking global politics).
