Quoting a fragment of the last paragraph:
"With [...] private companies planning to profit off of lunar resources, the moon is about to become a much busier destination."
Are there really such plans? Can anybody explain what the article refers to here specifically?
- chm 11y agoI know this doesn't add much to the discussion, but it would be surprising if there weren't plans to profit from anything related to the Moon.
- bostonpete 11y agoWell, you can apparently buy land on the moon for as little as $30 an acre...! http://www.lunarlandowner.com/standard_gift_package_details.htm http://www.lunarlandowner.com/standard_gift_package_details....
- Symmetry 11y agoSure, for instance ULA has plans to mine the moon for propellant. Here's the short version but you can google "Cislunar 1000" for more. https://imgur.com/a/473uB https://imgur.com/a/473uB
