Is Moon Mining Economically Feasible?

...Lunar resources could be used to help build up an industrial infrastructure in near-Earth space, Crawford said, a view shared by space scientist Paul Spudis of the Lunar Planetary Institute and others.

"If the moon's resources are going to be helpful, they are going to be helpful beyond the surface of the moon itself," Crawford said. Still, the overall case for any future payoff from exploiting the moon's resources has yet to be made, Crawford said....


Made me grin, heh.

That's brilliant!
We could shove them all up to the moon and finally be rid of all the miners! ^_^

Are we sure we want to screw around with the moon? Considering how vital it supposedly is to our planets stability and also the life on it?

There are major problems with moon, problems that would be solved only with mechanized workforce, drones. It would be easier when we would develop AI necessary to operate on its own in remote facilities on moon and on mars, and actual useful repair bots for that facilities. Think Sleeper AI.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!
