[QUOTE="mindlight, post: 75381468, member: 21246"] Interesting concept of missionaries to the moon. I guess I would compare it to the Jesuit experience of going to China and trying to find ways of interacting with that alien culture. They used technical expertise as a way to open doors to share the gospel. But your scenario is very different and the Missionaries base and lives are isolated from that wider Lunar community of the selfish and exclusive rich people who have made their homes there. Basically they seem to sit in their makeshift poor mans base staring out on a magnificent desolation populated only with projections of themselves, taunting them, rebuking them and perhaps ultimately mourning their inevitable demise. So maybe these men are not really missionaries at all but rather hermits in the lunar desert praying for lost souls and confronted by their own temptations in the wilderness. I think if I was really going to be a missionary on the moon I would try and get myself better embedded and with more excuses to interact with the lunar community whose selfishness and self interest would otherwise perpetually exclude the possibility of engagement.
