Ad from Moon Miners' Manifesto.

Space On The Web

By Lisa Kaspin

Last Sunday I thumbed through the Real Estate section of the LA Times, shaking my head over the prices.

Later that day, I picked up the Moon Miners' Manifesto, and to my surprise found this ad. Now I know that the National Space Society has long supported space settlement, but I had no idea they were this ahead in the game...

Well, why not? The Moon has plenty of good cheap land, and if I get there in time, I will have first dibs on a good job in one of the new mines.

Even the transportation cost is cheap- I ran a search on Gemini capsules and came up with the price of $209 (www.scalecraft.com) Wait! What do you mean, that's a 1/15 scale model?? I'm small, I can live with that!
