Accelerate the
Creation of a Moon Base
---We are in a space race with China, and the creation of a
base on the Moon is the next finish line.
We are doing great things in the field of scientific exploration, and
our military is surely developing a formidable Space Force; nevertheless,
nothing outweighs the establishment of our permanent presence on the Moon. The Moon is not only the highest ground in our confrontation with China but also the near-term supply of Helium 3 for nuclear fusion and the gateway to the conquest of space. At a time when we are spending trillions of
new money, NASA and private space entrepreneurs should be provided whatever
they can efficiently use.
Living on the Moon in an American base, which will auto-develop
into a city, is surprisingly feasible.
It will necessitate living underground to avoid the cosmic rays that relentlessly
bombard the surface. This will not require digging into the underground; the universe has already provided for our needs. We now know that both the moon and
Mars contain gigantic underground tunnels.
These are the remnants of volcano lava outlets dubbed “lava tubes.” They could be one kilometer in diameter and
25 miles long, large enough to accommodate millions of human inhabitants. We can create airtight compartments filled with oxygen, artificially illuminated, and climate-controlled. The
moon offers minerals for building materials and water to drink and to extract
oxygen. Energy is available from
hydrogen, also extracted from water. An
endless supply of energy is also readily accessible from perpetual, unfiltered sunlight
on the windless, flat lunar surface.
The rapid development of our conquest of space as the leading space-going nation would excite the public and inspire our youth to pursue science. Turning our moon
into an American manufacturing and space travel hub will enhance our national
security, magnify our prestige in the world, and rekindle our pride as an
exceptional nation, the shining city on a hill.
