Is it possible that our moon has diamonds beneath the ground?

But the laborious task of digging them up may be unnecessary, as the rocks on the moon that require no mining are worth more than diamonds. But then again, if we develop mining colonies on the moon, that would make those rocks abundant and accessible and worth sh1t.

* As you all know, pedophiles released from prison have an incredibly hard time finding a home due to them being not allowed anywhere near children. Let's send them to the moon to live and mine there. We'll turn them into moon patriots.

Possible, I suppose. How probable I don't know. Diamonds form in kimberlite intrusions, as far as I remember and I don't know if these occur on the moon.

Did I really say that?

But Elane Ripley would crash at the colony, releasing a dangerous zenomorph that was hosted by her cat.
