Hi guys I am not a scientist or anything,
but the other day a friend of mine said that we humans need to start mining resources in space and that we should start with something easy like our own moon.
Now like I said, I don't do science or anything but this got me wondering. "What will eventually happen if we continously take matter from the moon and send it back home to us?"
Could we have a Majoras Mask scenario on our hands where earth is getting heavier and the moon is getting lighter and start spiraling towards us instead of away strom us? eventually crashing down?
Again I don't know how this stuff works and can opnly speculate based on what seems logical to me.
So someone smarter than me, please feel free to answer this hypothetical question
