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).

[dainbramaged]

The Moon is hollow according to some folks.

Logical conclusion:

[G Larry]

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

[ScottinVA]

LMAO!! As if we’re ever going back there...

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

[MD Expat in PA]

Are we going to send Sam Bell(s) to mine on the Moon?

[shanover]

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.

[READINABLUESTATE]

There’s gold in them thar craters.

[McGruff]

We just need a backer.

I’ll join rightwingcrazy. I looked over the web site by USGS and saw absolutely no mention whatsoever of mineral description in the legend. It is barely a characterization of rock type and is mostly a terrain description.

Nobody has any journalistic integrity to speak of much these days. Misleading headlines abound.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Hey! Preserve the natural habitat of the moon darters!

[Sawdring]

Good luck mining the moon, you’ll find the moon is a harsh mistress.
