Well okay, maybe not Thunderbirds ... maybe more Space 1999

BBC News - Moon base: Bangor scientists design fuel to live in space
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-66687056

Fascinating piece on the creation of a manned 'Moon base' by the 2030's

And commercial concerns are already to the fore.

Is it planetary 'asset stripping' or lifeboat building ?

We are going to run out of resources so we need to find more. Also the ultimate gated community for the ultra rich. Do we really want someone like Elon musk deciding the future of the human race.

There are worse people. The future of space exploration will inevitably be commercial.

Mind you I couldn't help but wonder how may starving children the Indian gov could have fed for the price of a moon rocket. Still, I expect all that cheap Russian oil helped out a bit.

Thunderbirds are go !
