 What was that Pohl/Kornbluth story about the ad-man who comes up with advertising Mars colonization as a way to get rid of the under-classes?

 I will not sleep by the light of a communist moon.

 Yeah, but half an hour later, they'll want to colonize someplace else.

 I think we should encourage the Chinese to use the Moon as a way-station to settling Mars. A much nicer place to live, after they terraform it.

I'm glad they're doing this too. I figure it would be good to have a nice remote place for refugees from the Confederacy of Evangelical Synods* to flee to.

* Or whatever Ashcroft renames the USA after President Rove gets killed in the fracas over the big book burning of '06.

 Whether it's the Chinese or somebody else, I'm glad things are finally moving along.

Don't worry about the dust. A few decades of human shit, hair, nail clippings, plant scraps, etc. and a little water will settle thngs into a nice loam.

 Like it or not, the Chinese will colonize the moon, especially if their chief transport is the leaden Shenzhou III "One Way" space capsule.

 This, IMHO is a "good thing". After all, how can we have flying cars and dinner pills if we don't have cities on the moon yet? If you ask me, they should have been there two years ago.
