Tens of thousands of years of progress from humans living in caves so that humans can live in caves, on the Moon.

I have a sneaking suspicion this is an alien trap. They know we can’t resist caves! I bet that thing is full of probes.

An alien made human trap akin to human made mouse traps, except they aren’t baiting us with any delicious food.

We carry a harpoon!

But there ain’t no whales

So we tell tall tales

And sing a whaling tune!

But what if those humans only ever see their shadows, cast on the moon cave wall?

Until Lunar Plato frees himself from the cave and sees the world as it truly is… then returns and quietly sits back down because it’s a barren wasteland.

I’m skeptical that we’ll establish a long-term presence on the moon, or even visit. We’ll be too busy trying to survive the living hell our governments and corporations have created.
