I don't mean to be grumpy, but this is just a bunch of pretty colors with an unreadable color key. I found the original
here. It's high enough resolution to read the descriptions of the map symbols and units.

SpaceX Starship will be able to both land on the moon, take off from the moon then land back on earth.
Also be able to both carry a lot of cargo and passengers.
Three versions, passenger, cargo and tanker.
Great things are going to be happening soon...
The guy is absolutely determined to go to Mars with that ship soon.
Pretty exciting stuff.....

I may be thinking too hard, too stupid, or both. Should we not - if we were to mine the moon, deposit a mass equal to anything we retrieve lest at some point the lunar orbit be thown our of whack? Maybe leave Michael Moore up there, for example (if we can cobble up enough thrust to get him there).

The Moon is hollow according to some folks.

I doubt we'd ever be able to lift enough to offset that.

There is NOTHING to be mined that would be worth the cost.

Nice map, if not very useful. I was happy to see Jules Verne has a crater named for him.

The cost will be coming down, and it’s better and cheaper to build large ships in space with material mined on the moon than large ships in space with material mined on Earth.
To: LibWhacker
Are we going to send Sam Bell(s) to mine on the Moon?

My fact check said the Moon is worth over $24 QUADRILLION!
USA needs to get up there ASAP before the SOB Russian,Chicoms and before the first environmental lawsuit in front of a Obama or Clinton judge.
