The moon is very interesting for different reasons. Low gravity for larger payload launches. Manufacturing on the moon would eliminate pollution from that equasion.
Taxpayers are being offered SO MANY $trillion dollar programs, TARP, bailout of Auto industry, crap-n-tax, health care, Gates proposal to solve the “hurricane problem”, and so on. Can’t we taxpayers get a break? Perhaps a baker’s dozen in order... like solving 13 seperate $trillion programs, for the price of 12? We would save $1 trillion!
From an economic standpoint, it's still cheaper to launch from Earth.
Are you kidding?
And disturb the ‘pristine’ landscape on the moon? /sarc
The Evo’s will go nuts~!
