Former NASA Astronaut Harrison Schmitt advocates a private, investor-based approach to returning humansÂ to the Moonâ€”to extract Helium 3 for energy production, to use the Moon as a platform for science and manufacturing, and to establish permanent human colonies there in a kind of stepping stone community on the way to deeper space. With governments playing a supporting roleâ€”just as they have in the development of modern commercial aeronautics and agricultural productionâ€”Schmitt believes that a fundamentally private enterprise is the only type of organization capable of sustaining such an effort and, eventually, even making it pay off.
