- I don't know too much abotu many of the specifics, but in the sense of the
- moon 'colony' paying for itself, did any mention the fact that if solar arrays
- are set up on the moon the can produce a large amount energy, energy which
- could be used to power the base/colony, or could be beamed back down to the
- EArth in the form of microwaves and then collected and tranformed back into
- usable energy. This could be sold at a rate to other countries also.
