It was only a matter of time before we started carving up that rock.

We'll be fighting over Antarctica, too, since the ice will be gone soon.

I don't. It'll look cozy, like a home-away-from-home which we've created for ourselves, against all odds.

"We" is doing some heavy lifting. We'll do the hard work, sure, but it'll be the same old billionaires living up there as live in penthouses and on private islands.

Between the US and China, one has been at war constantly for 200 years and the other hasn't. One has the largest prison population on earth with explicit constitutional allowance for prison slave labor, has military bases on every continent, and is the only country to have ever used nukes at all and chose to deploy them on civilian population centers. Easy choice for anyone with a working brain.

I doubt any billionaires will be living on the moon any time soon. It'll be a pretty uncomfortable place to live for the foreseeable future. Like camping in the bush, but worse.
