"Those astronauts are going to be working long and hard to build that moon base and we're betting they're going to want a latte or two," Ms. Foyler says. "Fortunately for them, there'll be a Starbucks on the edge of every crater."

and


"The biggest problem is that there is no life on the moon," said Nick Klujian, an analyst at Morgan Stanley. "They'd be much better off on Mars."

When I lived in San Francisco the average coffee house on the corner was better, believe it or not. They had coffee house on literally every other corner. And it's half the price and twice as good.
3.50 for a coffee is retarded, no matter what it is.
I miss those 1.50 cappachinos though. New york coffee, on average, really suuuucks.

Starbucks is awful, double brewed garbage. I can duplicate the taste at home, by pouring double the amount of coffee grounds that I am supposed to. I would expect just about any coffee house to easily top such a lousy product.

This has got to be a joke.

In response to Mr. Klujian's comment, Starbucks responded: "Did we say the moon? We meant Mars. Sorry, we got the order wrong." :lol:

If this were to really happen; we'd have our first multi-planetary-corperation (aside from NASA). That's a scary thought.

OK, I'll admit Starbucks may be a little pricey but their Hazlenut Lattes are to die for!

I'm not a communist or anything.

But this is when capitalism goes ****ed up.

[Danny]

yeah i kinda agree a little, i mean next there be a project to get trademarks and logos written on the moons surface.:rolleyes:

[capncnut]

I wonder how much a cup of coffee would cost on the moon?

[EvilNed]

I just think it sucks that the first thing people think when they realize we might have a spacebace on the moon is "How can we make money off it?"

[dracenstein]

Bet the prices are astronomical.

[Danny]

if that was a pun, nice one.
