Really? Think about what you are saying. It is quite absurd. What are they
going to do? Head down to the Moon Home Depot and pick up supplies or what?
Everything, except dirt, is going to have to come from earth. And last time

So tell us what can be manifactured on the moon at a cheaper cost than on
earth. Really, I'm clutching my chair in anticipation to hear how this will
be done.

There are many raw resources on the moon. It wont make sense
at first to try to use them all. but eventually............
