Is there any chance the moon could become the new Australia?
The Q regarding crime in space inspired this question, or rather, the question and its answers.
Could a biosphere built on the moon be a place for hard core criminals?
Would there be a chance of the U.S. or any country considering exile to the moon a prison option?
Could it be made $$$ feasible with the installment of any plan, program, or equipment?

We’d have to be able to build something on the moon first. We’re a long way from being able to do that I think.
Haha but what does that have to do with Australia?
If it was doable I think the wealthy libertarians would claim it first and ironically use public funds to finance their spacegasm of freedom.

Imagine how high the kangaroos would leap, boiiiiiiiiing!
The cost of sending prisoners to the Moon would be prohibitive.
However, the value of just sending them to Australia should not be discounted.
@ucme Your brain works in wonderful ways :-)
I still vote we build walls around Utah and stick them all there.
Not like anyone would miss Utah.
I vote Kansas. Unless they’re gay… Which might become a possibility for someone with a life sentence.
I would miss Zion, Bryce, Arches, Moab… Utah is pretty cool landscape. Kansas, not so much.
@filmfann I’m not sure, I’ve never seen it. But I hear the beer is weak and the people are crazy.
@ucme, did you know your avitar is right side up while you are composing, and you flip when you hit the answer button? It figures. When you hit the answer button, I usually flip too. You are already way out there.
@Seek_Kolinahr :: I lived in Utah for a few months when I was 15. The place was mental and the beer was shit and heavily regulated. The kids in my high-school drove over state lines to get proper malt liquor like Eazy-E drank. My 15 year old hell…
@GloPro, Kansa? That wouldn’t work. What woud we do with the dutchess?
When I lived in Utah, we just drank Jose Cuervo, and went four wheelin’.
I can’t believe I’ve been hijacked to Utah!
@johnpowell – I’d let you have Florida, but the walls would just sink into the Gulf. Too much maintenance.
@Seek_Kolinahr :: I’m poor and hate sales tax with a passion. I will die in Oregon.
I love the idea of Oregon. Like to visit some day at least.
If you ever do you and your kid have a floor to sleep on. Possibly an air mattress if you are willing to unpack some boxes.
We’ll just put Hubby on the roof. haha.
Since there is three you can have my bed during the duration of your visit.
Oregon is actually lovely. I can see mountains capped in snow to my right and the ocean is 90 minutes to my left.
And no sales tax. We do tax the fuck out of homeowners. They cover the difference. But it is bullshit that a homeless guy that had to scrounge up change for a burger at Burger King has to deal with sales tax. That guy will pay 100% of his income on sales tax. Might as well tax landowners that should have some extra income per month since they are probably doing better than begging.
Considering how many people would pay big $$$ to visit/live on the moon, turning it into a prison would be a waste.
We were willing to meet the costs to stick a camera out there.
So, in regards to the financial aspect of my question, you can’t think of ANY way to offset the cost? How about prison football pay per view?
@Seek, you know the invitation is always open! You might just have to come and run my non profit dream.
HELL-OH OH! Lunar project over here. Reservations is at motel8.com
We had a joke about Australia when I lived in NZ. They were (and still are) so anti-immigrants there was one politician who suggested creating a wall around the country. We (the Kiwis) said, that sounds good. Make it about 10 feet thick and 20 feet high. Then, fill it with water.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
A little mean, but FUNNY. I never heard that before. Thankyou for sharing
Nope, no chance of that. Not cost effective.
