One step backwards (Step zero)

Sorry for a negative response on this one. With Salvaraj's approach
1607 & 1620 Jamestown & Plymouth Rock colonists would be advised
NO! NO! NO! Lets build a 100,000 pop. settlement in Canary Islands 1st !!!
THEN we can attempt crossing that wild Atlantic.

Any more Mars first advocates in group to back me up on this one?

Taking a hard look at the data, the Moon has definite advantages as the best
place to start our space odyssey. (in comparison with Mars and asteroids).

The present estimate of water on the Moon is 6.6 billion tonnes.

We need to first put 100,000 people on the Moon. Then we will see the
beginning of a flourishing Earth - Moon trade and space habs in orbit around
Earth.

It is almost as if God put Moon in place to give us a step up.

Selvaraj
