[QUOTE=Jetblack357;34442295]A completely untouched source of resources[/QUOTE]What would we be getting from the moon in the line of resources if we started actively mining the thing, anyway? I imagine that there must be [i]something[/i] useful in there, to make setting up a lunar colony a better investment than pure galactic dick waving, but the only time I've actually heard someone talk about harvesting lunar resources involved nonexistent sci-fi guns and a British robot.
I heard once it would actually be easier to build a base on Mars.
