Quote #10
"Special circumstances. If we ever see water and manure shipped to Luna and grain shipped back, it will be just as temporary. Luna's future lies in her unique position at the top of the gravity well over a rich planet, and in her cheap power and plentiful real estate. If we Loonies have sense enough in the centuries ahead to remain a free port and to stay our of entangling alliances, we will become the crossroads for two planets, three planets, the entire Solar System. We won't be farmers forever." (29.5)
Prof sees the future of Luna and the free market going hand-in-hand. If they can remain a free port with a free market, then they can play an important role in the expansion of humanity.
