I've read it. But even the inestimable O'Neill can't figure a way to increase the moons gravity to the point it will hold a breathable atmosphere.

The Lunar regolith has a great deal of silicon infused in it. The solar panels for the Power Stations that O'Neill proposed would be manufactured from this silicon, which BTW is GLASS. Dome a meteor crater and build a city. It can be done. No need to "alter gravity".

I wrote an article which is posted at our web site. Check it out:
