Rofl, 80 bucks to ship some tea, pretty sure it would be less than that to ship it to the moon.

Gotta remember there is no tax, import/export laws, or governmental institution on the moon. All you have to do is pay for fuel![]()
You laugh, but there are actually projects that have been proposed to build an elevator to the moon:
We might just see that in the next couple of decades.Code:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_elevator
That's what people said about going to the moon 50 years ago too. It's easy to be sceptical, and yet there are people at NASA right now working on projects like this, while we peons are worrying about our little ant lives here on Earth.
I'm not skeptical - we can do just about anything we set our minds to. The gif represents my frustration with spending $$$ on something like that (we're talking BILLIONS of dollars for something like an elevator to the heavens to work) when our country (i.e. - USA) has the financial issues that it does...
The post wasn't anything personal man...
