The methods outlined for MARS ONE would work on the moon as well.
They'd want redundant medical facilities, solar works much better on the moon then it does on earth due to no atmosphere.
To live thru long term radiation exposure they'd need to live underground most of the time just like MARS ONE plans.
A mag coil mass driver relay system could toss canisters into orbit, and send HE3 back from the moon.
This was an old NASA plan with mag coil mass drivers.
Technically we could do it from earth as well into at least LEO.
Don't know if we can toss something all the way to geosync orbit.
From the height of the ISS, a capture and re-toss station could be setup.
At some point the moon base could grow and make most everything it needs with the next generation of 3d printers that are capable of carbon fiber and materials that are not yet used.
Exactly, they are there only for the stuff valuable enough to matter, or could be used to make more robots to send to other moons, or the asteroid belt(s).
Well based on the fact that the total gold discovered on earth would fit in a few Olympic size swimming pools we don't have much to worry about. I think they are mostly going for the HE3 as we got a working HE3 fusion reactor sitting at the University of Wisconsin that is much cheaper to build then NIF OR ITER, etc etc...
At some point hopefully it will be robots capable of repairing the other robots, and just mag coil launch heat shielded canisters of HE3 back toward earth for ocean pickup much like Apollo did.
Robots will be able to see in non visible light spectrum, in fact they can likely look at the moon surface in spectra that would be more helpful to the mining operation.
Each robot might have a visible light on it if a remote operator felt the need to look around or use one robot to repair another one.
In the end they will be near totally autonomous like the new grumman drone.
In the end the robots will repair each other, and load canisters for mass driver mag coil return to earth based on prior NASA planned projects for the moon.
In the end mining will not be needed as much, as future variants of the nano tubes will out perform what we can dig out of the ground and melt with fire...
I think someday we will see nanotube buckyball materials that are superior to anything made via legacy industry.
Flashblock will stop the flash ads, adblockplus will stop the ads, beyond that you may need some of the features in Opera where you can disable picture elements.
The merger of government and corporate power is fascism per Mussolini, and I'd say he might know a thing or two about it while he was around.
We have not had a free market in the US for a very long time if at all.
The monopolies and cartels crush any competition they consider a real threat if they do not sell out a price considered reasonable by the Robber Barons.

Yeah they already have 3d printers that can print copies of the 3d printer.
Kinda reminds me of the replicators off SG1.
Food, Water, Air, Shelter are the main needs.

There is a working HE3 reactor now, the fuel is the only issue, time for you to read up.

Scaling up to power production is not done, but the experimental stage is there.
University of Wisconsin is pretty much there.

Also robot miners don't need healthcare, food, O2, breaks, lunches, sleep, vacations, sick time, FMLA, etc.
Gee I wonder how long before the corporate overlords replace us all, lol.

I think all the devices with Rakshasa firmware such as cell phones are computers
are a honeytrap to get info to the NSA.

Forget the blame china routine, its obvious they were paid to put it in there...

The fact the US has to rely on Russian rockets is a small hint at what is going on.
Well hopefully someone will convince them they can go mine the other moons
robotically such as the 100+ moons around Jupiter and Saturn.
Not really feasible for humans due to radiation, O2, medical needs, food, etc...

I am pretty sure we are not there for the soil, but the Helium-3, if you do a bit of research
it is replaced by he solar wind.
What we could figure is what is the replacement rate...
We could also increase the impact rate that the moon already has to return some mass if needed.
Maybe a few of the near miss asteroids could be "parked" on the moon.
No small feat, I am sure, but its in the realm of feasible to get it to hit the moon vs. the earth.
"You're simply polluting the comments with you idiocy"
I think you were looking for "your idiocy"...
Well you found it...
The ppl making the choices at the top of the government and most corporations
are not technology literate most of the time.
So when you have the ignorant deciding how technology is to be deployed
it tends to come across as ignorant often.
Think Windows 8, Windows Vista, Windows ME....
COBOL that 1st dumb it down programming language where
readability by empty suits was one of the top design concerns.
A very large bowl of phail sauce indeed.
"Windows 8 is not the worlds first update disaster (think of New Coca-Cola)"
Also think WindowsME....lol

Dumbing it down, funny you mention that, and if you want to read why...
http://www.deliberatedumbingdo...
The empty suits at dice came from the same empty suit factory that clogs most corporations.
You see choices made by some of these companies that just boggle the mind.
I can assure you it has to do with what the MBA degree mills are churning out.
Normally you'd think the opinion of the viewership would matter, but not with these jokers.
You cannot expect the corrupt Telcos who stole $300 billion of US taxpayer money
to do anything remotely in the realm of honest.
Welcome to the Kleptocracy.
http://www.newnetworks.com/bro...
If the Telco's can get away with theft of $300 billion, they can get away with pretty much anything.
Welcome to Kleptocracy, Government for thieves by thieves.

I know the CCC was more popular at the time then the WPA due to
the WPA doing some "artsy" projects. I guess it was the marketing...

Your post is incorrect.
Watch "LFTR remix" video on youtube that is a google tech talk on the subject.
It will even burn up nuclear waste.
