−	~~There~~ is a ~~critical shortage~~ of ~~ifnormaitve articles like~~ this.	+	==General Description==
		+
		+	===NASA’s Part===
		+
		+	NASA will build basic infrastructure, after that it is up to commercial development. As shown in [[NASA Exploration Strategy]].
		+
		+	===Lunar Resource Extraction Settlement===
		+
		+	The first economic application for the Moon will likely be a Schmitt mining settlement to harvest Helium-3 and other [[Volatiles]]. The settlement would be located at either of the poles or at the equator. The settlement would ideally be started immediately following the astronaut exploration stage, lest interest collapse and the entire plan be scrapped. This settlement will serve as the first small economic toe-hold on the Moon.
		+
		+	For more information about the estimated time of this scenario, please see [[Timelines]].
		+
		+	===Settlement Business Environment===
		+
		+	The Settlement would likely be run by a consortium of aerospace companies collaborating on the project. This conglomeration will be referred to here as the Company.
		+
		+	===People on the Moon===
		+
		+	The goal of People living on the Moon is an expensive and difficult proposition. Individuals on the Moon will be encouraged and supported to be entrepreneurs, and will be afforded intellectual property rights. The Company will buy ideas from the settlers while also funding the ore extraction and then having proprietary rights to sell it. Interactions with people on Earth, including economic interactions, will help keep lunar people sane and happy
		+
		+	==Scope of Plans==
		+	===Communication with Earth===
		+
		+	A Moon settlement would be the first human settling endeavor which has a large bandwidth with its home country. The effect of this on the settlement will be to greatly lessen the isolation of the settlement in the minds of its inhabitants. They will have all of the comforts of home from books to movies to the Internet; they will be the best connected settlers in human history.
		+
		+
		+
		+	===Shipment back to Earth===
		+
		+	Shipments back to Earth will be strictly limited, and will be overseen by a Cargo Supervisor.
		+	If a shipment is underweight, small ballast can top off shipments: cheap, low in mass (grams).
		+	Eventually, an unmanned ship sent from Earth with lunar hydrogen and oxygen for return rocket, and with only a lunar reentry shield, a load in tens of kilograms, on a slow trip. This proposal would be expensive. More of these flights would be possible in long-term than in the short term.

	There are many challenges left to over come in the short term. One key problem is the low man power caused by the sheer cost of sending people to the moon. Another is the low availability of electrical power again, because it is expensive to transport solar panels to the moon, and even more energy costly to manufacture them there. Living space will be very limited, and cramped quarters could lead to poor mental health for the miners. The price of shipping anything there or back will be incredibly expensive, and almost negates the value of sending [[Helium 3]] home. Ultimately, the Moon is a dangerous and volatile environment which poses a major stopping block to any form of settlement there, and creates many unforeseeable risks.
