The moon is useless, so let’s preserve it

I don’t think space or lunar tourism is going to be the big draw that transforms the moon into something unrecognizable. Instead, I think it’s going to be more about large-scale mining and industrialization that scars the lunar surface. So when it comes to possible industrial hellscapes that the moon might turn into, think less Las Vegas and more… Gary, Indiana. No offense, Gary, but you’re kind of an industrial hellscape.
