I know this was going to come back and bite me in the ass again. I wrote a half page on this two seconds ago on all of this and just lost it and I am really really pissed (as in angry to our British friends) right now. I am not going to write it again, but basically it is this: There is Silica on the moon. Silica can be used to make solar panels. There is water there to generate power until solar panels are built and to fuel ships to get people to and from.
Now the moon has no atmosphere (basically) so it gets massive amounts of sunlight meaning solar panels work great. Lasers can be used to transmit power back to the Earth (we do it all the time the other way around much to the ignorance of Apollo Program Denyer).
The Moon (Luna) = Massive Solar Power Station.
Now if you will excuse me I'm going out side to go look at Neptune and maybe calm down.
