Colonize the gas giants and collect energy closer to the sun? If you have the tech to live on Io or Titan, you have the tech to put up solar stations and beam the power to your colony.
A trillion dollars would only be 1.2% for GWP. Heck the US GDP is $15 trillion, you figure at least 10 years to build something of this scale and the money isn't much at all. The money wouldn't be take out of the economy either.
Problem isn't money but tech. I'm sure the NASA quote was for a station like the ISS. People would not want to live in such tight quarters for long periods of time. A trillion dollar project is doable but I don't think the end result would be a choice retirement location for anyone.
How else would you buy water other than paying for it? No one is stopping you from drinking rain water. People choose to buy the water, it's not required
Escape velocity is to leave the Earth-moon system. What they're trying to do is get into orbit. Guess if RTFA you would know who they were. The goal is to build a slingatron big enough to fire a projectile at 7 km/s (15,600 mph, 25,000 km/h), which is enough to put it into orbit.
The SC can change how the Constitution is interpreted. SO we can go from everyone has a right to a gun to only those in the National Guard have a right to a gun.
In the end it really doesn't matter what the founding fathers meant. What matters is what we'll allow as a society now. I doubt anyone would change their stance on the 2nd if some unknown book was found that pointed to what the founding fathers meant by the 2nd.
[i]they proceeded to physically destroy $170,500 worth of equipment (PDF), including uninfected systems, printers, cameras, keyboards and mice. After the destruction was halted — only because they ran out of money to continue smashing up perfectly good hardware — they had racked up a total of $2.3 million in service costs, temporary infrastructure acquisitions and equipment destruction.[/i]
...and that, kids, is how we got the economy back on the road to recovery in 2013. Of course the public was too short sighted at the time to see our efforts for what it was. We didn't get any medals until 2025.
They too have a virtual currency that can be used to buy virtual items or converted to real money. Probably more people playing WoW than using bitcoins. Where do you draw the line?

pay to buy clean water,

How about early 21st century?
ahh I see the problem, I replied to the wrong message, meant to reply to GP, not you. My mistake.

the m they have is meters not miles, so 7km/s.
How much of the mass is going to have to be heat shielding? 7km/s and the stagnation temperature is going to melt most material.
Wait, who invented insects and water?

You would have to replace the machine guns with shotguns though. It would be a pretty profitable business, I think.
You realize that other than the firefighters, the ones you listed are part of the federal government, right?
or patrolling the border.
Don't forget brooms.
So you're saying there's a market for cannons that shoot shotguns which in turn has a prox sensor to fire and take out drones?
it's not for the lunar surface but for the NASA artifacts left behind.
start an embassy on the site.
Sorry but the space rangers of the moon are going to look more like the rovers on Mars.

F=ma
.236 N = 1000 kg * a .000236 m/s^2
a =
V=V0+a*t
V=(40,000 km/h)/(3600 sec/hr) + (.000236 m/s^2)*(50000 hours *3600 sec/hr)
V=53,591 m/s => 192928 km/hr =>0.00018 c
