who knows you franz ferdinand from austria

we dont, we have continually gone against what was agreed upon in the minsk accords

Look the only smart people involved in this are lawyers, and they work on hourly wages.

It's only when the infrastructure isn't set up. After that it can become actually cheaper. Really cheaper.

It would be pointlessly expensive to mine it there and bring it back. However, for building anything in space, it's much cheaper in the long run to send up the equipment for mining and processing rather than sending the heavy materials we need all the way from Earth. For decades and decades to come, mining on the moon will be the best way to build things on the moon or in orbit but it will still be completely impractical to use that material on Earth. Shipping enough rocket fuel to the moon to send a few pounds of pure, completely refined metal back would still be more expensive than the same material costs to mine on Earth. Once you have a factory on the moon, you have most of the material and energy you need to build anything you want. All it takes it lots of time because, at first, the equipment will be tiny and slow.

Thank you! We are glad you have enjoyed it.
