How To Develop The Moon presents a near-term blueprint for profitable lunar development with a focus on economic sustainability. Until recently, the (literally) astronomical costs associated with space launches rendered the notion of lunar development economically unsustainable. Financially unviable. Politically unadvisable. Practically unthinkable. Activities extending beyond orbit, with the exception of telecommunications, were confined to government-led initiatives, characterized by significant bureaucratic red tape, political uncertainty, and reliance on public funding. This has changed. This book will attempt to describe in as much detail as possible how to develop the Moon profitably.
