AI Thread Summary
Playing sports on the moon presents unique challenges due to low gravity and the need for spacesuits. Football is considered the hardest sport to play, while baseball is viewed as the easiest, with basketball also being mentioned. The discussion highlights that American football might be less affected by the constraints of a spacesuit. Golf is suggested as another challenging sport due to its precision requirements. Overall, the consensus leans towards indoor sports being easier to play on the moon compared to outdoor activities.

well acc to me indoors shall be much more easier to b played on moon as compared to outdoors...
hardest in yhe list ...obviously golf
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
