Having completed 'Being On the Moon' I'm starting to write a prequel called 'Back to the Moon.'
It will be about what it would take to create a lunar settlement. For us to go back and live on the Moon. Wouldn't it be great if we actually do that over the next 20 years? By 2032. I'm selfish - I want to be there when it happens!
But it will take more than writing a book. It will take a team of people believing it will happen and completing all the critical actions needed. It will take people willing to lead groups of people on this project.
There are many resource issues to put in place first, like:
- How to produce Oxygen without transporting it into space
- How to get into Earth orbit most efficiently
- How to raise funds now and future income opportunities
- How to generate power on the Moon efficiently
- How to train and prepare people for the low gravity environment
- How to identify the best landing sites
- Many more how to's
Do you know anyone who wants to be part of this Living on the Moon project? Without NASA it's going to take something new. It's going to take some new thinking. I'm inspired but as Money Magnet author Marie-Claire Carlyle says 'to get really inspired you need to take on something bigger than yourself'. And as Lady Gaga says 'Honour your vomit' (Gagavision no. 43) which I'm taking to mean stay present to the short creative process of a big project. The possibility of a project that inspires and empowers team members intro action.
