  What if

  From the article:
  
  "They could include India and China, two nations which have recently pledged to send astronauts back to the Moon."
  
  Will India and Pakistan make conflicting claims on lunar territory? Will they launch nuclear missiles at the moon to sort out their disputes? How many Turkish guest workers will be allowed to work there?

    Re: What if

    None of the above. We'll just outsource programing jobs over to the moon once China and India establish themselves there. Make's the whole process even cheaper. Of course, this is complete competition with the Russian plans to establish a nuclear power plant over in Mars. At this rate we'll probably have an outsouce facility in Pluto in the next 50yrs.

    Well, people live in the desert, and the Moon is just a spherical desert... with no air. :-)
    Seems to me that the only people living on the Moon will be the folks running the strip-mining operation.

      I remember, Sonny, when the man in the moon didn't have a strip-mine wart on its nose... Here, pull my finger.
