"*So that's it. I'm the first person with a Moonbase.*"
―Erik
Moonbase Salvia is the 134th lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was released on August 30, 2021.

## Summary

Carl Sagan Salvia talks about the Moon. Erik is in Moonbase Salvia celebrating his second Big Money Space Race victory. He looks at how Jeff Bezos is going to get to the Moon, but it's just some stupid tower. He brags about his much better Moonbase powered by Alexa, and Alexa warns him not to fart on the Moon because it can throw everything off. Then he checks out what Elon Musk is up to, but he's still just posting weird shit on Twitter. Then Ricky and Eliot from Internet Today walk into Erik's Moonbase, explain that they got there first, and demand Erik give them all of his food.

Erik has a flashback to three weeks earlier (brought to you by NordVPN). He was playing Pavlov in the Etiquesette, but he tells them about NordVPN and they get upset at him for selling out. His teammates keep killing themselves, and then Erik kills them all.

Ricky and Eliot return after eating Erik's food, deciding that they'll eat Erik next time. Then they show him a YouTube video explaining that the Moon is gay. Erik realizes that he still has a lot to learn about the Moon, so he does some more research and finds out that the Moon is a hollow spaceship created by aliens. Then Jacksfilms wanders into Erik's moonbase by mistake, explaining that he has a body double to do his show. Then Jack shows him a song about Tang so he can survive on the Moon.

Erik plans on staying on the Moon indefinitely, but Hank enters his Moonbase and explains that it's property of NASA (which makes it the property of Elon Musk). Erik realizes that the Moon is a gong, and he does a big fart, which echos through the Moon and blasts it out of orbit, dooming everyone on Earth.

## Comments

*It's amazing how this comment section reads like every product review page on Amazon, in that it's ninety percent positive paid-for-garbage and then the other ten percent is a bunch of people with DIY personality disorders who I would never want to meet in my entire life. But I don't really give a shit because I'm already on the moon right now in my moonbase. I beat everyone here, so the race is over. And listen Jerb Berjerb, if you land any of those stupid looking fuckin things near me I'm gonna rob everybody on board.*

*You know what tipped me off is when the Moon joined Scientology.*

*Yo if this bitch is hollow then explain why all these billionaires want to send poor people up here to swing pickaxes in an ore mine? It doesn't make sense. I imagine Elon Musk or Jomb Bombas have some communication with that Manhattan sized city on the dark side of the moon to see if they can turn it into a lawless labor camp for Amazon employees who don't mind the grueling hours while surrounded by weightless piss bottles. I like a good conspiracy as much as the next guy, but I'm pretty sure if the moon was a hollow gong spaceship we would have found a way to kill ourselves with it by now.**Only spaceship I see here is this one

that's what it looks like when it using its front thrusters to go in reverse*

*This was such a pleasant surprise. It reminded me of the old days of youtube where you could find all kinds of offbeat content with earnest effort put into it. See back in the day, exploring youtube was kinda like exploring the surface of the moon because every step you took was new territory. You never knew what you would find next. And finding this video gave me nostalgia for those times, like being a kid again, staring up at the moon and wondering how many astronauts would eventually star in faked government footage to make it look like they went up there. Anyway you're not kidding about that dome man. I saw a pigeon bounce off that shit once but nobody believes me. In conclusion, great video, and I'm gonna send it to everyone I know and they're all gonna love it too.**Sincerely,
I am currently on the moon*
