  The moon will be fine and the earth will be fine.

  But for me the idea of some private company extracting massive amounts of profit from something like the moon just sounds wrong.

  We all know they’re not going up there for the good of humanity or whatever. They want to turn their billions into trillions.

  Personally I think they need to give up their wealth on earth first, and then we can think about how best to extract resources from the moon so that it will be beneficial to humans rather than a few bank accounts. We couldn’t do it with oil, but maybe we can with rare moon material? One can only dream.

  I know I know pie in the sky right?
