The moon creates our waves and wind of Earth. I don't really know how much pulling resources from the moon could affect the moon itself, or the moon's effect on Earth - though I'd rather not try and find out.
We would have to mine the moon for billions of years to even make a measurable change in its mass. There is very little risk we'll even get near that.
And you don't know, but other people do. You have no say on what they will try. Believe it when we tell you (and people less kind than me will eventually do so) your lack of knowledge and unwillingness to learn is far more dangerous than reducing the mass of the moon.
It really wouldn't take billions of years - though we won't know for sure with both of us throwing in assumptions, nor knowing how economics and mining for resources will impact the variables.
You're completely wrong that I, or you, have no say in what they will try. I can voice my thoughts, just as you can.
Not sure why you feel so disempowered about your voice to project on me that I'd have no say. Same goes for your assumption about unwillingness to learn? How do people learn?
A person makes statements, create discussion. We learn from eachother.
