       | huge. We could buy time to lower our carbon emissions without

       | If we get lunar mining up and running that opens up a world of
       | space based resources at far cheaper than anything we could
       | launch from earth. With a mass driver and solar power we could
       | avoid the need for propellants for launch.

       | Once you have an economic reason to be up there getting there
       | will become much cheaper. That will enable a new wave of
       | scientific exploration.
