Polar Moon Camp

NASA has announced plans for a polar moon camp which would be a start to full time living on the moon. I got this story a number of different ways, but I want to provide a special hat tip to The Evangelical Ecologist, who has commented on the potential value of this plan and technology in providing energy and other resources for life here on earth.

This provides us with an excellent example of the often overlooked fact that sound ecological policy and technology are not necessarily enemies. In the short term we may seem to benefit from ecologically unsound use of technology, but in the long term it will always cost us dearly.

Careful and wise use of technology, however, also provides the solutions.
