President Bush wants to establish a permanent moon colony, and perhaps send people to Mars. I wonder if the colony will recycle their waste, and be designed according to sound new urbanist principals? Does this new rocket he is talking about mean re-starting the U.S.’s nuclear rocket program? Will the economic development of the moon mean it must be made attractive to the “creative class”? Questions, questions.
