To be fair it's looking increasingly likely that it will be China and not the US that will be making actual moon bases.
For sure. Maybe once every few months the US will contract spaceX to throw a tesla at the PRC's moon base just to be annoying.
"Increasingly likely" is undercutting it.
People think normal people will be able to go to the moon base and it won't just be penthouses for the 1% to rule the Earth from somewhere that Mario's brother can't get to?
Lol .... when we go to terraform a planet with a new atmosphere ...... it will immediately be just pollution that will cause runaway global warming.
The Moonday Letters touches upon some of this in an interesting way.
Not exactly cyberpunk but very much with the bitter taste of lingering capitalism.
An Exxon gas station!? Really?
Was this picture made in 2005?
You're more likely to find a charging station with SGCC written on it if you're lucky,
because it'll more likely be 国家电网 as latin letters will have lost all status.
And by the time an American moon base happens, they’ll have ways to beam the sound from the advertisement into only your brain so you can’t not hear it.
I can't imagine car-dependent stroads and their type species, the chain drive-through restaurant, being the way things are built on the moon, if only because efficient use of space is likely to be necessary to profitability even more than it is on Earth. And stroads & the large parking lots on the stores that usually line them are just about the worst use of space imaginable.
