Lunarpedia has many purposes. Here are some pages to help work out some of them.

Show Stoppers: These are the things that are keeping us from returning to the Moon.

We must build a community of people with a shared vision who are in action.

Great Achievements: A Civilization is know by its great achievements.
Community Building: Community building concepts we can use.
Lunar Bill of Rights: People need to know what their rights are.
Out of the Box: Working out of the box is often evoked, never explained.
The Last Renaissance Man: Are you the last Renaissance man?
The Politics of Science Fiction: Politics and science fiction mirror image each other.
Why Communes Fail: If our lunar settlement is to survive, we must have a good business model.

We need to invite people to buy into our vision of returning to the Moon.

Understanding Cascade to State Change: Why complex systems do what they do.
Can we use Serendipity?: Maybe we can get lucky.
Predicting the Future: Predicting the future is amazingly hard.
Achieving a Tipping Point: When you cross a certain point, it is down hill from there on.
Level 1 Requirements: Formally figuring out what we are doing.
What we are Not Doing: To know what you are doing, you must know what you are not doing.

A lunar settlement will succeed or fail as a business.

The way to do something is to start doing it.
