Colonize the Moon is about communicating the utility of resources from space. While this describes the topic generally, the implications are so vast that it makes climate change, and the global economy look like kids games. In economies of scale the ideas presented by space advocates are capable of diffusing systemic world problems.

In the grand tradition of misnomers, this website is not about sending colonies to the moon. If you do some research, you will find that human habitation of the moon’s surface is not possible in the long term. Colonize-the-Moon is about communicating the ideas of space advocates of all flavors.

If we are talking about the moon then this is about remotely accessing a small portion of the resources we know to exist on the moon. There are also vast stores of wealth in asteroids, and still more on Mars, and still more beyond that. To say it simply the bounty of space is greater than a million times the value of all nations on earth.

Make no mistake. This is no small claim. There are fistfuls of world changing ideas in the space community today. Things that can either shatter our civilization or make it better. Topics that might whet your appetite for more:

• -Practically Infinite Location Independent Renewable Energy
• -A Printing Press for Gold
• -An Everywhere Internet Signal

That’s just three ideas, and there are tons more where that came from. Often space advocates use their own jargon, acronyms, and insider knowledge. Sometimes using these terms and concepts becomes unavoidable. However, here at Colonize the Moon we will go to extreme measures to avoid using this type language.

Communicating the ideas about what can be done in space is important. It’s the critical gap that hasn’t been filled. Often the details about space are more boring that legalese. In fact, legalese may be easier to listen to than space-ese. Many plans remain shelved because it’s simply too difficult to explain them (or sell them). Space enthusiasts just aren’t that good at advertising, marketing, or promoting.

The fundamental lacking in the space industry right now is that few know what we’re talking about. This website is a part of the effort to fill that gap.
