"If I were JFK, I would have wanted a nice cottage on the moon. With an airstrip."

The best real estate on the moon is at the North or South Pole. There you can run a solar collector up a flagpole and receive solar energy twenty-four hours a day, (except for Earth eclipses).

I'd have a statue of Atlas in my front yard, that I could see from my living room window, and it would look like he was holding Earth on his back.

I'm a sucker for fine art.

But the best location for an "airstrip" is the very center of Nearside. There you can erect a "beanstalk" and take the elevator up to space.
