description: There is virtually limitless opportunity for humanityin further lunar exploration. Everything frominternational peace spurred from technologicalprosperity, to untapped industries and theirresulting markets, to preparation for even greaterspacefaring accomplishments in the second halfof the century, the universe is truly the limit.However, human spaceflight is inherently restrictiveas it poses seemingly unconquerable challenges tounknown frontiers. Of these prohibitive variables,technological and economic restrictions are oftenthe source. Therefore, the only sensible and feasiblelunar proposals must be both technologically viableand cost-effective, the best solutions being thosewhere these are one and the same. It is also vital tonote the driving force behind all of this, feeling, andthat it is inspiration, or lack thereof, that dictatesthe course of man’s journey across the cosmos.
