Moon first- it’ll pay for itself.

And just how would that work? What on the moon would pay for going there?

What on the moon would pay for going there?

Cheese.

And Pink Floyd albums on the dark side.

What we build there.

The talk of finding value already there is silly, like the Spainiards’ view of the New World as just a gold mine.

The cost of geting anything out of Earth’s gravity well is huge, the cost of getting out of the Moon’s gravity well is negligible.
So as a market develops off Earth, the Moon is the far better place to supply it.

Of course if we’re all willing to kill our babies so we can stay on Earth, there will be no off-planet market.
Surprised that appeals to so many here.
