Pepsi tried to do it a few years ago and got shot down. Honestly, I'd like to see it done once. Just once. Just to see it. And then never again. Never ever again. But I can't have my cake and eat it too...

I think its inevitable. In 100 years the moon will be covered with settlements. On dark nights you'll look up a see a sphere covered with a glowing spider web of cities and roads. We take the night moon for granted, hanging there naked and pristine as nature created her. Future generations will not know that moon, and the last to know her will mourn her loss. I think someone will probably buy enough land up there to make a sign visible from earth. Land will be cheap at first as the place is inhospitable. And there will be nothing you can do about it really. What people on the moon do with their land is definately out of the jurisdiction of some country on earth.
