With Artemis 1 stacking right now and the first launch planned by the end of the year, the moon is getting more attention than we have seen since the 1960s. The plan this time is to stay in a permanent moon colony, supported by mining operations on the lunar surface. But what could we mine there? And why will it be necessary for our future moon ambitions as well as interplanetary travel?
There's gold in them there craters. Let's take a look.

    When I was a child we watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, and my dad cried. I asked my father if I could go to the moon when I grew up and he told me that I would probably be able to go to Mars. Fifty-odd years later I still can't even go to the moon. I read "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert Heinlein when I was 12. I look forward to seeing humans living on/in the moon. To me it means that we are progressing as a species.

I distinctly remember a female politician on TV back then saying how we have to solve current socio-economic problems just like we solved landing on the moon.Even as a little kid, I knew this was an "apple and oranges" comparison. Engineers approach challenges with clear goals and end-points, whereas Politicians only survive by forever moving the Goal-Posts.

    Just one question: Given that the moon does a very important job for us down here, moving the oceans and parts of the atmosphere back and forth, it would be a good idea to think about replacing the material extracted from the moon to, you know, keep the moving stuff back and forth going. Since that is based on the weight of the moon, making it lighter wouldn't be, what we colloquially call "a good idea."

Heinlein was delighted with the idea and gave it his approval. “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” turned out to be a terrific song, and both Joe Cocker and Jimmy Webb himself did great versions of it.

    That's because signing anything with USA is pretty much meaningless if you are on equal footing - USA never fulfills its obligations in the agreement and throughout the Cold War, and especially after it, it has broken pretty much every high level agreement. That is why no one considered on pair with USA wants to co-sign anything anymore. Simply, USA honors the deals it wants, when it wants - and that makes any signing pretty meaningless. It went to the point where USA's actions in the Cold War almost brought up nuclear war - famous being Cuban Crisis. USA and USSR agreed that they won't put nuclear weapons on each other's borders - because then you take out the other side's ability to retaliate (not enough time), so the whole balance goes away. USA placed nukes in Turkey, contrary to the agreement, and USSR then decided to restore the balance by placing nukes on Cuba. We all know how it all ended, but in many American minds it is seen as a hostile act of USSR. It wasn't, it was actually a response to a hostile act and breaking of a deal by USA. And when you have a nation that doesn't give a damn about the agreements and obligations (because it has force and thinks it can do what ever the hell it wants and no one can do anything about it), no one wants to sign anything with it. US troops committed countless war crimes in the last 20 years in the Middle East, no one even remotely important was brought to the international court for war crimes. Because USA does what USA wants - and if you don't like it, come and do something about it. If you can. Classic bully. That's why no one wants to play.

    There is a difference between being orbital, and being completely on-line. Starship, due to it's test often until it fails strategy, appears to be further ahead than it really is. The Starship we see today is really only a husk of it's intended state. The Prototypes are just that, there are no internal crew compartments, equipment bays, hell, they are only just now trying to design the large cargo doors that it will need to deploy payloads into orbit. It has a long way to go before it can be considered fully operational. Likely it will become more and more operational over a much longer gradient than most rocket platforms have traditionally in the past. The first version that lands on the moon, likely won't be much more complex than the current iterations, safe for some equipment to test the landing systems, and possibly refueling hardware. All the crew support, and large payload support stuff, it likely to take a lot more time.

While there is an incentive for SpaceX to go Faster, there is a very big incentive for Government partners to Delay as much as possible. Dude, this rocket should be finished 10 YEARS AGO with 25% of the current cost. . Also, developing the Engine and the structure is the HARD PART, everything else is kind of easy, specially if you have hundreds of engineers knowing they are making history in real time. "its just a husk" - yeah, like EVERY SINGLE OTHER ROCKET, the only exception i can think is the space shuttle, everything else is just a fuel tank attached to a rocket engine. In my opinion, Starship is already 80% ready, its like copying a bunch of files, 3k files, but 80% of the total size is only by 10 files. . I bet SLS will have at least ONE more big delay and Starship will be almost ready when SLS finally leaves the ground, and with some luck, dont Explode in mid air.

    Won't be that much. The moon isn't the only place where we can get those resources from. We've got two asteroid fields and possibly the Oort Cloud too (if it exists), which means we will have trillions upon trillions of tonnes to mine, which in turn means that their value will eventually drop to free. A materials value is primarily defined by rarity and how difficult it is to obtain. The rest is detail work to make it fit in better with the monetary system we run, but the RE resources we obtain outside the Earth, the rarer life itself becomes and at some point it will be naturally occurring materials like wood and leather that will be incredibly expensive, as we can definitely do smaller plants on colonized worlds, but entire forests are quite unlikely for at least a couple thousand years.

And that means we can start drawing down the population on Earth, and sending people to live comfortable lives in space.

    Joe mentioned regolith, and it's potential for problems, but maybe downplays it a little. I feel regolith will be a deal killer, not only on any industrial activity on the moon, but on Mars, as well. Regolith is *really* bad, and there aren't any good solutions to dealing with it. You cannot mine, or use vehicles, without moving parts. It's not too bad during short-term missions like our earlier moon missions which lasted a few days. But, we're talking about building and maintaining a more-or-less permanent, or at least long-term, base. And mining. There are no machines that don't have moving parts. The regolith is going to work it's way into even microscopic crevices, stick to everything, and just grind away at everything that moves. Even in the short-term missions of the early 1970's, there were problems of the regolith coating the space suits, and entering the air locks, and getting into the modules. Multiply that by a thousand for a long-term mission. Air lock seals will leak, space suit seals around helmets, gloves and joints will leak. Plus, all the regolith that makes it into habitats will cause health issues. Even with constant filtering, filters and their assemblies will get fouled *fast*, and be difficult to maintain. We'll see. Maybe a solution will be found.

    Iron in moon dust makes it workable with magnetic attraction. Circulation in airlocks can sweep that influx, but without air it's only gravity to settle it, without magnetic sweepers. But dust can't travel very far without wind drift, except in clinging to suits and equipment, so solar energy "lawn-mower" fusing on the grounds of outdoor activity areas seems critically important. That paving tech can be proven on Earth. Helium is fine for plasma lighting, and continuous production of hollow-core plasma energy-transfer conduit networks is high on the to-do list. Moon-bound mission vessels and landers should be made in a way that serves a resource short-fall on the Moon. Tubes, windings, etc., should have a dual-purpose design that isn't orbital or moon-litter. Those dark-side craters aren't prehistoric dings, it's being hit thirty-thousand times a year, so automation will face risks, repairs, and replacements. Could a MoonPolar SpinLaunch apparatus energize a long power cable tether to thrusters aboard a suspended space vehicle that, when achieving a suitable rotation speed, is released on a returning payload voyage to Earth? Getting ore boats into the air from Lake Superior is quit difficult, but from the Moon, gravity isn't such a problem in shipyards nor docks. Entry into Earth's atmosphere needs critical design work, especially if ablative shielding is going to cause environmental harms in frequent arrivals. A dozen 'lakers' won't ruin The Great Lakes, but ten-thousand burning contrails might turn our atmospheric protections into Swiss cheese.

    I think it would be pretty cool to stare up from Earth and see the faint glow of city lights in the dark portion of the Moon's crescent phases. Our Earth still looks fairly pristine from orbit during the day, so I'd imagine the sun touched portions of the moon will still look pristine from Earth's perspective for a 1000 years to come; assuming we don't create a thin but opaque atmosphere of dust around the moon. Also, a city the size of Los Angeles would use up every drop of known Moon water in about 500 days, so hopefully water recollection systems improve, and fingers crossed we don't start growing needless lawns on the Moon either lol.
