Less risk of solar radiation exposure at the poles, better place for a space observatory, low gravity reduces stress on heart, promising greater longevity, solar powered railguns to beat the Earth into submission if they start getting uppity towards their Lunar Overlords would work nearly as well at the poles as at the equator due to the Moon’s slow rotation… I’m convinced. Sign me up!

This also significantly increases the chance that we will one day be able to sing:

We’re whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon.
But there ain’t no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.

But the moon does rotate. It just take a month to complete a revolution, the same amount of time it takes to revolve around the earth. So the same side always faces us.

There must be something bad on the dark side. We found their stash of ice. We should nuke it.

They’d have to build their moon base near the poles to be near the water. It’s always cold there, but that might be a good thing. If they built the base near the moon’s equator, they’d have to shield against both heat and cold as the moon revolves and passes from light to dark. At the pole they’d also have advance warning of anything sneaking up on us from the dark side.

The moon (particularly the crescent) is an Islamic symbol since Allah was originally a moon god. So, yes, Obama has bowed to the moon.

#8, because it removes a major obstacle for a permanent or long term station on the moon if we don’t have to send up water. Water’s kinda heavy, see, and this simplifies a critical logistical concern.

Also, it’s important to keep an up to date working knowledge of where it’s safe for a Kennedy to drive…

We won’t nuke it out of fear of melting those precious ice caps.

Did you really think The World’s Dog would nuke the Moon, Frank? I told you so.
