Any plan to develop the moon or planets commercially is by definition a con game, and there have been many such schemes over the years to separate gullible investors from their money.

If the moon was made of gold it would not be profitable to retrieve any of it. Planetary exploration will remain fundamentally a government activity, if that, for a long time to come.
