Mike, I just read your essay "Been There Done That". Nice. Makes me
want to give a copy to Zubrin and say "SO THERE!"

Thanks. I'm even more critical of Zubrin here:

and discuss some of his arguments here:

I also liked the article, *but* there is a wrong number in there. Mike says
that the surface area of the Moon is roughly equal to that of the United
States. However, while the United States have only 9.63 Mm^2, the Moon has
37.7 Mm^2, being *much* larger than the U.S. . In fact, the Moon has a
surface area larger than a big continent such as Africa.

Wow. I wonder where I got that from. Sounds like my article needs
revision.

I wonder if I read somewhere that the land area of the moon was equivalent
to that of the New World, which should be taken to include South as well as
North America, plus Canada.

Many Thanks,

Mike Combs
