Reply to comment by GiraffeAdditional299 in A solution to the climate crisis: mining the moon, researchers say. by Vucea

If we get to the point where our technology is advanced enough to remove a significant portion of the Moon's mass we'd be somewhere between the expanse and star trek levels of tech, it'd be like a colony of ants mining away the north face of Everest. Like we could build whatever crazy dyson swarm type thing we wanted to in space at that point and just turn the whole ass Earth into a nature reserve.

If we can move a lot of heavy industry off planet we can finally treat this planet as the jewel that it is, and leave it alone. At least that's my dream.
