Until then, we are trying to find, develop, discuss, and document various concepts for space and ocean development and exploration. We are collecting together and discussing the information or references to it, discussing various reference projects, and supplying software resources to help others analyze and develop their own concepts. In short, we have frontiers out there within our technical reach. For a more detailed explanation of the imaginary Lunar Institute of Technology, check out our brochure. For a planet called Earth we have an awfull lot of ocean, and we don't know much about it or do much with it.
Some people have ideas on changing that.
Near Earth Development Project From Earth orbit to the surface of the moon. Hard vacuum, zero G, solar energy, Helium-3 fusion fuel, and lunar soil rich in everything from concrete to titanium. If we never recycled, and everyone in the world used resources as rapidly as the most consumptive American, it would take us 40,000 years to use up the ore in the asteroid belt. Near earth comet cores hold tens of thousands of times as much oil as OPEC exported in its best year. The sun pours out unbelievable amounts of energy and you can collect it with little more than a sheet of aluminium foil.
