Trump transition team asked NASA about mining on the moon. On a related note: Yeah, I've read the novel, I know what's coming next....
You didn't know that mass drivers were first proposed for sending out materials mined on the moon about FIFTY years ago? I guess Elon Musk hadn't mentioned it then.
Sorry Tuckerfan. I don't follow every link some guy on the internet provides. Especially at wordforge
So, uh, what did you think that the link, "Yeah, I've read the novel, I know what's coming next...." could have possibly been referring to?
I wish we had a stable Moon base, bases actually. One on the side facing Earth, & one on the Far Side of the Moon. The Moon having stable bases would make exploring the rest of the Solar System, & space in general, easier.
