I hope you enjoy Lunarpedia and make other valuable contributions. I am interested in learning your point of view on aspects of lunar colonization. <br /> :[[User:Farred|Farred]] 11:14, 19 April 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I have replied in the talk section for the page you referenced.</div>

However in the interest of cooperative collaboration I would like to discuss where financial planning belongs on this site before editing this article.<br /> <br /> That specific financial considerations should be part of any treatment of lunar colonization ought to be self-evident. Discussion of various technical considerations is interesting and valuable but, to quote the film ''The Right Stuff'':<br /> <br /> &quot;Do you know what makes your ships go up? ... Funding.&quot;<br /> <br /> Initial investment, public and private subsidy, prospects for profitability, short- and long-term ROI and the like cannot be brushed aside as unworthy topics, or as naysaying, or as something that will be worked out &quot;elsewhere&quot; or &quot;some other time.&quot; That is pure handwaving.<br /> <br /> Financing happens first, before any of the rest of these technical challenges can be surmounted. And in order to talk about finance you have to talk about budgets.<br /> <br /> Where should that discussion take place?</div>
