Will there be 1,000,000 people living on the moon by 2050?
--- 15348446
That's in 27 years. No way

maybe a thousand by 2050, but only if things continue to progress at a rapid clip, any setbacks and change that to "maybe a hundred by 2050". A million on the moon might come sometime next century. Early in the century? Late? Depends on the rate of progress and no setbacks.

No. If we're lucky well have a few dozen people being rotated in and out on antarctic style research bases.

27 years ago Google, smart phones, and AI didn't exist. A lot can happen in that length of time.

no we will not be building cities on the moon within our lifetimes. for the same reason we aren't building cities in Antarctica today.

if we're extremely lucky there will be low 3 digit numbers of people by 2050. but it's also entirely possible that will be ~6 or just 0

If we don't die before 2050, then yeah, why not.

Will there be 1,000,000 people living on Antarctica by 2050? And why would people rather be on the moon?

turing test software existed 27 years ago, so did cell phones & search engines.

Not to mention there was an economic reasons for these things to exist. There isn't any good motive for extra-terrestrial bases sans research. Which is why the only thing well see this century are research bases.
--- 15352334
there won't even be one person living on the moon by then
--- 15352374
>>15348347 (OP)
not unless we can guarantee social justice there. if not, then why even bother?

There wont even be people on temhe moon by 2100, and as the USA becomes more "diverse", watch as NASA's technological prowess collapses

Seeing Antarctica without the ice cap makes me want to do some world building. Or rather make a thread on /sci/ about doing a geophysical simulation of a planet, like how /an/ has a speculative evolution general.

No

Hopefully an american base and a chinese base, that's the best you'll have. Although maybe India may somehow manage to get there.

"AI" existed at least in the 1950s. Retard.

Why wouldn’t there be?

There's no real reason to have a moon base beyond research and exploration. Its not like there's any economic reason to bring a million people there.

Modern AI didn't exist until Alexnet debuted on September 30, 2012

No. 
Just one guy, his name is Joe. 
Joe is very fat, like really fat.
And Joe is going to be fine because you can be fat in low gravity.
