As I'm preparing myself to WSOT
competition by ByBit with up
to 200 BTC
prize pool, I'm
thinking of what I could do with 200 BTC if I won this competition?
Putting this into perspective for
a second. I’m currently in possession of 200 BTC which roughly converts to
about 1.8 million US dollars. Assuming I have a dream chaser space shuttle
which allows you to transport cargo and people completely at your own disposal
to and from the moon, what couldn’t I possibly build up there?
Realistically speaking, building
a space station is next to impossible with the limited amount of funding
available to us.
What I would propose is this:
·
Take a 3D printer and haul
it to the moon. The first step would be to adapt it to use the sand on the moon
as material to create structures. Making the best use of the resources that we
have at hand.
·
Solve the issue of no power
with solar panels, power the 3D printer through it and get to work building
livable infrastructures.
·
Solar panels are definitely
the best choice for power related issues due to the sun’s rays falling directly
on the moon.
·
Radiation is going to be a
key issue, getting a radiation shield made for the structure would be the next
step! Protecting ourselves from the sun’s radiation is key towards surviving on
the moon.
·
Nights on the moon may be
harsh, keeping in mind they last for about 2 weeks (Earth relative time). We
would need to get batteries to store energy to last us during those cold nights
where we would need light and heat.
·
Solving the problem of
Oxygen generation would come next.
·
Once we have the structures
set up (while wearing oxygen tanks of course), proper insulation would be installed
into the structures to maintain no air leakage.
·
Plants and other vegetables
could be brought in under controlled conditions to provide sustenance and
oxygen needed to survive.
·
Scientists have stated
previously that water could only exist in the craters of the moon so that is
where we set up our water sources in the meanwhile. These will have to be
restocked from time to time.
After all this is done, what
would there be left to do? Nothing except opening up the mini fridge, taking
out a Coke, sitting on a chair inside the structure that we’ve built and
tipping a glass to the sun. We’ve made our own private crib on the moon! Of
course, we won’t have Netflix to pull us through but we can worry about
Satellite TV once we have more bitcoin in our pocket.
