I see no reason to stop them hollowing out the moon and it becoming China 2 Electric Boogaloo.

It's literally the only thing that will push the US to better fund research in the field, so hell yeah, pound that c.

I think this violates International Law.

Do international laws count if the thing in question is happening on the moon?

There are plenty of international agreements governing the Moon.
The nations that made the agreements are on Earth.
Enforcement however is .. debatable.

Summary: If China breaks the Moon, the other Countries will send a bill (or in the case of the US, renegotiate their debt in the favor of the US).

I'm pretty sure if China breaks the moon the last thing we have to worry about is money.

Pretty sure that if the moon breaks, the next thing we have to worry about is Morlocks.

I don't think the Chinese are going to be able to break the moon, or for that matter successfully drill to its c

Their equipment will probably fail hours after landing. But it might get the US government to take lunar exploration more seriously

Their final words as they die from lack of oxygen will be, "Damn this...    cheaply made...     Chinese crap...".

Lmao imagine what a gaffer it'd be if we crashed the moon back into the earth again. I wonder if it'd be possible to tether the moon and earth together with a giant elevator though, that'd be neat

If the Martian is correct then the moon is technically international waters

Right until China paints a giant Chinese flag on it.

Right until China paints a giant Chinese flag on it.

Then it is still international waters, just with some paint on it.

Chinese would have to base there for that to happen.

But what if they build the base under it?

What if they build an artificial island on the surface of the moon?
