So Russia has Diamonds in an Impact Crater - Trillions of Carats. That is sufficient funds to put a 10 million population colony on the moon over the next century.

Would you live there?

Yeah, no one wants to live in Russia. Even Russian don't want to live in Russia. Why would anyone want to live in a crator in Russia? That makes no sense.

I'd live in that Russian crater, as long as I was allowed to help myself to whatever rocks I wanted for my "collection".

No, you can only live there after all the diamonds have been mined out, and all the Russians are in space. You are also only take one blanket, one shoe, 2 hats, and an old toothbrush used to clean the latrines used by new recruits in boot camp... Russian boot camp.

In that case I think I'll pass on the offer.

It's too late. Your name has been added to the list. Once you're on the list, you no longer have a choice.

There is always a choice. We might not always like any of the options, but the choice is there. Unless you're dead, but at that point it doesn't really matter.

You got some sort of hookups in Industrial Land we're not aware of?  Cuz them shiny rocks ain't the kinda shiny rocks people want to wear.  ;)

Calling people trolls is against our fairly rigid CoC and is an actionable offense.  I suggest you read it, place it deep inside yourself and understand its glory before you post anything else that could get you in trouble.  Lrn2rulznub.

Aren't diamonds actually plentiful and their price artificially driven high? And people responsible for this to be arrested on sight in the States?

I DID read the rules, years ago, and in no way did I call someone a troll.

Live in a crater in Russia? I'd better be paid in the hundred of thousands of dollars a year for that.




On the Moon...would you live on the Moon in a Lunar Colony owned by a Russian Corporation/cartel/crime syndicate? Brothels, Casinos, and giggle & squeak Bars (places that let you breathe in Nitrous Oxide and Helium for money) by the spaceport...

Russia sucks enough. Why would you want to live with a bunch of Russians on the moon? Doesn't that just defeat the purpose of leaving the Russian crator for the moon?

Umm ... you said the thread had been trolled, no?  Now just how could that happen if people weren't  - according to you - trolling?  And if people - according to you - were trolling, wouldn't they have to be trolls?  So yes, yes you did call multiple people trolls.  It's blatantly obvious.  Which may be, you know, the reason I pointed it out.

Diamonds are actually pretty common. The prices are kept artificially high by holding most off the market. If Russia were to try using these to finance a moonbase, diamonds would very quickly be devalued, and the venture would thus fail.

fine, you guys either accidentaly or on purpose misunderstood the OP, and went off on a wild tangent.


To answer the OP's question;

I would never live in ANYTHING in space built by the russians.

They lost the space race. Also, whens the last time you've said, "Ooh, it must be good, it was built in RUSSIA."?

And yet we are paying them to fly our astronauts and gear to the International Space Station.

Im surprised the mods haven't done something to curtail this sort of behavior.  I thought this was a family friendly place.  Cyberbullying isn't family friendly, yanno?  Sad.  Sick and sad.
