Never Eat a Burger on the moon!

Moon Burger Delivery

By Hiral JoshiPublished about a year ago โ€ข 3 min read

Fast food on Earth is delicious but unhealthy; John craves a burger from the Moon.

John plans to order a burger from Earth to be delivered to the Moon, but the delivery charge is astronomical, costing 236 million dollars and taking three days.

In a bold move, John decides to build a burger restaurant on the Moon, despite the challenges.

Challenges arise, such as the need for water and power, leading John to explore lunar cold traps for water ice.

The Moon lacks an atmosphere, which makes water management difficult due to sublimation.

John manages to gather water ice from a cold trap, a critical step for the restaurant.

With water secured, the next challenge is power, leading John to consider using a spaceship to power the restaurant.

John starts 3D printing the restaurant but still faces the difficulty of growing food ingredients like lettuce and wheat.

John humorously realizes the absurdity of trying to grow cows and chickens on the Moon for milk and eggs.

A significant obstacle is discovered when John learns lunar soil lacks the nutrients necessary for plant growth.

Despite the setbacks, John successfully builds the restaurant, though without fresh ingredients.

The long-awaited burger delivery from Earth arrives after three days, but John acknowledges its dryness and age.

The story takes a darker turn when John experiences throat pain due to inhaling lunar dust.

John's health rapidly declines due to asphyxiation caused by the lunar dust, leading to an abrupt conclusion.

The humorous tone throughout contrasts with the grim reality of John's condition at the end of the transcript.

Storyline:

๐Ÿ” John humorously fantasizes about ordering a burger from Earth to be delivered to the Moon, despite the absurd cost and three-day wait.

๐Ÿš€ John decides to build a burger restaurant on the Moon, starting by gathering necessary resources such as water, power, and ingredients.

๐Ÿ’ง They find water ice in a cold trap on the Moon, which is crucial for sustaining their Moon-based burger venture.

โ˜€๏ธ John explores repurposing old Apollo mission artifacts, specifically solar panels, but finds that they're no longer usable.

๐Ÿ”ฅ The lack of an atmosphere on the Moon makes combustion impossible, which complicates efforts to cook food.

๐ŸŒฑ Growing food on the Moon proves difficult due to the harsh environment, including challenges with lunar soil and temperature extremes.

๐Ÿฅฉ The AI assistant, RICO, informs John that creating a full burger requires growing cows and chickens for ingredients like milk and eggs, which is far beyond John's capabilities.

๐Ÿ’ก Despite the challenges, John is determined to create their own ingredients one step at a time, starting with basic components like wheat for the bun.

๐Ÿ˜ต The script ends on a grim note, as John experiences asphyxiation due to inhaling lunar dust, leading to cardiac arrest.

๐Ÿ“‰ Overall, the project is portrayed as an ambitious but futile effort to build a burger restaurant on the Moon, with humorous commentary on the limitations of space life.

๐Ÿ’ก3D printer

The 3D printer is a crucial tool used by John to construct the restaurant on the Moon. It represents modern technology being utilized in extreme environments, reflecting the innovative yet challenging process of building structures on the Moon.

๐Ÿ’กWater ice

Water ice is a key resource that John seeks to find on the Moon. The lack of liquid water due to the Moonโ€™s atmosphere is a significant obstacle, and locating water ice in cold traps becomes essential for survival and growing ingredients.

๐Ÿ’กLunar dust

Lunar dust in the closing moments where John suffers from microabrasions caused by inhaling it. This demonstrates one of the hidden dangers of life on the Moon, where fine, sharp dust particles pose health risks.
