    Did the screenwriters ever read "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"?

    @RexMaximus: Those space colonists seriously needed to take a shower.

    @bfwebster: i'm pretty certain the moon is a harsh mistress will never be made into a movie, since its message isn't one most people in hollywood agree with.

    They should just do a big budget One Year War movie (Gundam). Have Andrew WK sing the theme song, too.

    For some reason I'm imagining a sort of American Revolution theme going on. With the Earth as the British and the moon as the colonies demanding "No Taxation without representation!"

    Aw, I was hoping the film would actually be about the Earth and the Moon duking it out. No matter who wins, they're both pretty much fucked afterward.

    Hmm. That would be an interesting fight. The earth is larger, so has more resources, but also more gravity, meaning launch costs are higher.

    Meanwhile, the moon is smaller, with unknown resources, It's gravity is lower, so launch costs are lower, but it would have a thinner atmosphere if fully terraformed. If it isn't fully terraformed, I think a subterranean society would be more effective there. Gravity gets higher closer to the center, nice rock to shelter against ballistics, easier access to the unknown resources, plus you can't forget the cool adaptations that will cause down the line.

    The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, with Will Smith? It might be entertaining.

    @Anekanta: Oh dear lord no. It's bad enough he was involved in that mangling of Asimov, please don't let these people anywhere near Heinlein again. What's next, Mike Myers or Jack Black in Stranger in a Strange Land?
