-A proposal; let us again call the Moon -a planet, and colonize the nearest
-planet to Earth first!

Good point, people are crazed about colonizing a planet (mars) why not the
moon (maybe its orbit around us makes it psychologically inferior).

Actually, I've heard the reasons why mars is a better bet as far as
long-term colonizing is concerned, but its funny that the fact we think of
the moon as a 'moon' influences our opinion of it, thus influencing our
judgement of where to colonize.

Oh well.
