I'm not a physist, but it seems to me that less mass on the moon would cause a change in it's orbit over time. It would be great place to put nuclear waste, no worries about anything leaking into the ground water, and killing us all.

Good point. Its not like the locals are going to complain. And if nuclear waste is going to go anywhere, where better than the moon? Of course, just dumping it at random would be no good. Youd want to keep track of it. Make sure that furture expeditions dont land in the middle of the stuff. Something like the pico vault in 3001 : Final Odyssey.
The moon may be a world treasure, but earth is slightly more important.[/QUOTE]Yeah, we'd have to keep an eye on where everthing is, we wouldn't want an explosion is space and releasing any bad guys like in Superman II
I think the biggest problem right now is the chance of the rocketships having an accident.
