 | Actually, once we've created the artificial lunar atmosphere by way of
bombing it with the likes of CO2/Rn, thus creating 1e6 tonnes of
vaporised basalt per tonne of CO2/Rn, as that's where roughly 50% of
the lunar basalt becomes O2, and thereby chances are certainly
improving for the parachute alternative.
At 0.01 bar the parachute notion should become worth four times the
payload of Mars, and everybody knows getting folks affordably and
safely to/from Mars is a done deal. And, our NASA/Apollo teams proved
that the surface of our moon isn't nasty, as there's hardly any
radiation, it's not actually all that hot and never once a speck of
anything arriving via 30+km/s, thereby offering folks just another EVA
moonsuit walk in the park.

Those craters on the Moon must have been made by the *last* attempt to
colonize it then? Not by any old pesky falling objects...
