Building on the Moon


These people are talking seriously about the technology necessary to build a society on the moon.

We are not talking about an eccentric millionaire, or a rogue tenured professor. This is a profitable company that answers to level headed (read profit seeking) stockholders.

I have to admit that my sense of romance has become jaded enough to be stimulated on;y by stories of magic or living on other worlds, so this excites me.

I am not a scientist, but I imagine that the scientific advances we will experience if this is accomplished will over shadow any other time in our history.

I know, by the way, that this is an ad.
