Reason to go back to the moon?
OK since the Apollo missions we have often asked why we stopped going, various reasons are propounded, usually cost, etc and we've done it to death, nowt more to be done etc. Anyway just been watching "do we really need the moon" with Maggie Aderin on BBC2. Towards the end there's a guy who reckons of we cover the moon's equatorial region with solar panels, and transmit the power to Earth with microwaves, we'd go some way to producing most of our power needs, all cleanly. He claims most of the materials needed are already up there. So what do you reckon? Could the moon be used like this? There's a platinum BGB for the first predictable plonkerism!
