Financial Feasibility of Lunar Living

This chapter explores the financial hurdles of space exploration, particularly the 'sticker shock' associated with expensive lunar projects like Project Horizon. The discussion examines the competition between public and private sectors in achieving significant milestones, while questioning the long-term viability and cost-effectiveness of establishing a permanent human presence on the moon. By reflecting on the challenges of human reproduction and survival in a lunar environment, the chapter humorously intertwines serious inquiries with light-hearted concepts, inviting listeners to engage in the conversation.
