A start of a Litany of Research Needs • Living Underground, with Sunlight and views • Music with instruments made on Moon • Small market ariety in made-on-Luna goods • Sports fun to play & watch in lunar gravity • Growing plants during day/night cycle • Experimenting glass-glass composites • Make locally, import: the MUS/cle strategy • wastewater drainage recycling systems • Robot-insect assistants for many tasks • Biosphere / “modular” biosphere systems • Ways to store dayspan power for nightspan use • Probes for subsurface voids – lavatubes • Liquid airlock systems for small cargo items • Designing better space suits/airlocks • Designing cities with their own biospheres • Extending the limits of teleoperation • Husbanding scarce water reserves • Positive uses for water under treatment • Redesigning industrial systems to recycle water • Unique lunar surface vehicles• • Harvest precious solar wind volatiles Some Industrialization vectors Beneficiating “poor lunar ores” Sintered Iron Products Glass-glass Composites Glass, Ceramics, Concrete Colors in paints, ceramic glazes, glass etc. import packaging our of needed elements Taking Silicone down paths not trodden Experimenting with Sulfur composites Electricl systems and superconductivity Lighting systems – light without the heat Many things need to be pre-developed if the first humans to return to the Moon are igoing to be the first of many, some of whom will choose to stay and create a new frontier. We also look into ways to get some of this research done early, so that once we do return to the Moon, we are not scratching our heads for what to do next for another few decades. Involving entrepreneurs to pre-develop those tcchnologies that have promising profitable terrestrial applications – here and now for those profits, is one way: the “spin-up” process. The University of Luna Project, which would coordinate research done in industrial labs as well as on university campuses is another. Without an intensive efort, we’ll be stuck with another Antarctica.
