    This is great, I just have a few questions:

    A.) Does it still affect menstrual cycles 2.) Does we still have to put up with werewolves? Last.) What if I still want to dance in the moonlight and feel warm and bright on some nights and not feel uptight cause everbody’s dancing in the moonlight?

      A.) Yes, the effect on menstrual cycles comes from photons the moon emits, not the light. These will be unaffected

      2.) No, you will be allowed to shoot them once it is complete

      Last.) You could simply travel to the other side of the moon, there the light would still be

          All the moon cheese mines have been exhausted in the 2004 great moon cheese eating, so I don’t see how they would be relevant

            What about new, undiscovered deep well cheese? We could build new mines. Would this affect these mines?

              The lemmings yearn for the cheese mines. Anyway, yes such mining efforts would likely be rendered impossible, however it is predicted that humanity will be able to access the frozen cheese on mars in a few years, leading to an era of great prosperity and great cheese

    Could we possibly kill more men? It doesn’t really feel like a mega project unless the death toll is in the millions.

    But what about meteorites? How can you promise I will never see it again without a planetary defense system?

      They’re called meteors, you drill bit. How can we take your feedback on the moon tarp project seriously if you don’t know the difference between meteors and meteorites? SMH people these days

        And what about the meteorites on the moon that would have had to travel through the tarp first?

          We don’t need to worry about those because they’re already meteorites. We only have to worry about them while they’re meteors.

    When looking at the moon tarp you have to sign a waiver saying you are not Anish Kapoor and are not looking at it on behalf of Anish Kapoor.

    But who knows what the moon people will get up to unless we have free and open line of sight to keep an eye on them?

    Are we still going to be allowed to moon people once this project is complete? I need to know because that might require me to make changes to my daily routine.

    Isn’t that twice as much tarp as you need? 10801080pi for a circle the same size.

    Does it have to be on the moon? Couldn’t we just place a geostationary tarp satellite up there? We could save a lot of AI generated bitcoin I’d bet. /s

        This made me wonder what it would actually look like.

        It would be so big, would it curve around with the Lagrange point?

        Would it be significant enough to see with the naked eye?

        Would we see ripples or waves cause by other gravitational forces. Could it be used to detect gravitational waves?

        That would be cool. Except the whole, “not seeing the moon anymore” thing.

        Can you imagine the energy you would need to keep something like that from drifting off and or bunching up under its own mass?

    We declare victory over the tarp - unrelated, we are sending 20,000 young people to attack the tarp.
