Why we should mine the moon
London UK (The Conversation) Dec 01, 2014
To date, all human economic activity has depended on the material and energy resources of a single planet; understandably, perhaps. It is conceivable though that future advances in space exploration could change this by opening our closed planetary economy to essentially unlimited external resources of energy and raw materials. Look up at the Moon this evening, and you might be gazing at a solution. The Earth's closest celestial neighbour seems likely to play a major role and already a number of p ... read more
