Historically mankind has all but stuffed the earth with nearly everything we've meddled with.
Water, and Waterways
Flora and Fauna
The atmosphere itself
Spreading of diseases
The shifting and introduction of plants and animals that don't belong in particular countries/areas that become rampant problems
Toxic wastes
The list just goes on and on,,,, the more you think about it.
Every single one of us is a small part of the ongoing damage to this our planet.
So why should we have a free for all on the moon ?
Upset the moon enough by mining alone could well have catastrophic effects directly on the earth eg. tides, etc just to begin with.
The moon may well be "dead" but it has direct influences on the earth that are all natural, so why risk screwing that up as well ?
