Every fron- tier is foreign and hostile until we learn how to express ourselves and meet our needs by creative use of local materials. Arts and Crafts have been an essential “interpretive” medium for peoples of all lands and times. Homes adorned with indigenous Art and Crafts objects will “interpret” the hostile outdoors in a friendly way, resulting in pioneer pride in their surroundings which will be seen as far less hostile and unforgiving as a result. At the same time, these arts and crafts, starting as “cottage industries.” will become an important element in the lunar economy, both for adorning lunar interiors - and exteriors - and as a source of income through sales to tourists, and exports to Earth and elsewhere. Artists love free and cheap materials, and their pursuits will be a part of pioneer recycling eforts. From time immemorial, as humans settled new parts of Africa and then the continents beyond, development of new indigenous arts and crafts have played an important role in adaptation of new en- vironments “as if they were our aboriginal territories.” In all these senses, the Arts & Crafts have played a strong and vital second to the development of new technologies that made adaptation to new frontiers easier. How could it be any diferent as we move to new continents across a new kind of sea? What pioneer artists and craftsmen will do on the Moon, will be repeated on Mars with both simi- lar and uniquely diferent results, and on other frontier worlds beyond. Any “History” of a people that mentions only political, economic, social, technological, and military markers is woefully incomplete. Enjoy, and we hope you will appreciate the possibilities of extending the Human “Out of Africa” epic to lands beyond all the more.

The Moon is a whole new world with every “limiting factor” a gateway to “unlimited possibilities.” The Moon is a place for those who are convinced that “Yes, we can!” The limits of creativity in the blueprint of the human mind and soul are no more than temporary. This applies to our technological and engineering frontiers as well.
