THIS WAS 2004..... MORE CUTBACKS NOW for "HIGH PAYING TECH JOBS" WHERE ARE WE NOW ? WHERE WILL WE BE.....
We need to do this, and we need to do it now. Unfortunately, this is where the various environmentalists show their true stripes - they will be against this, even though it is enormously cleaner than fossil fuels. One thing mentioned a few times... mining on this scale will not affect the gravitation of the moon - even bringing back a few tens of thousands of tons would be a tiny insignificant fraction of the moon's mass.
