===Site Type Pros & Cons===<br />
====Polar Sites====<br />
*Pros<br />
:Both poles have "peaks of eternal sunshine" for power generation<br />
:Thermal conditions do not vary greatly through the sunth (lunar month)<br />
:Both poles are in the center of extensive coldtrap or permashade areas where we expect to find water-ice deposits<br />
*Cons<br />
:Both poles are rugged highland areas in which construction may be difficult<br />
:The sunlight always comes in at, just above, or just below the horizon sibility and location identification problems<br />
:The high amount of total tonnage needed to erect a solar power tower system<br />
:Expected polar ice-deposits are of unknown quantity, concentration, and difficulty of extraction<br />
:All our efforts mastering the challenges of the polar areas, will not prepare or enable us to set up outposts elsewhere on the Moon<br />
:The polar highlands do not offer all the resources needed for industrialization<br />
:Solar wind hydrogen, with which to make water, is available anywhere on the Moon<br />
====Mare-Highland Coast sites====<br />
*Pros<br />
:Access to both major regolith suites<br />
:Some coastal sites are also ilmenite rich<br />
:Some coastal sites may involve potassium and phosphorus rich KREEP deposits<br />
:Some coastal sites involve subsurface lavatubes<br />
:Maria provide extensive areas of obstacle free transit<br />
:Some coastal sites are much closer to the nearest circumpolar coldtraps, than either pole itself is to the nearest coast<br />
:other<br />
*Cons<br />
:Extreme dayspan-nightspan temperature swings are a challenge to vehicle and structure design, as well as to lubricants<br />
:The need to store up enough power during dayspan to get through the lunar nightspan<br />
:Counterpoint: mastering these twin challenges will allow us to set up shop and settle anywhere on the Moon.<br />
