In asking NASA to accept his billions for the Moon, Bezos admits his mistake
There are so many things to do with Moon exploration besides building moon landers. People like Bezos just need to choose - you don&#x27;t even need a particular imagination.<p>For example, if we&#x27;re to progress forward from results of Apollo, we&#x27;ll need Moon surface infrastructure. That&#x27;s landing sites - with radio beacons, optical illumination and transport capabilities for payloads. We&#x27;ll need Moon houses - places to live on the Moon for some longer time, like e.g. half a year in a row - and for that we&#x27;ll need pressurized units, radiation protection, spacesuits, storage for aforementioned payloads... Is it possible, for example, to send something - maybe small - from Earth to Moon really fast - preferably faster than 2 days - if we need? Like, a critical device or a small amount of particular material? Starship isn&#x27;t going to to that, not alone at least. How about really bulky units - do we need to assemble them on LEO or Moon surface? Caterpillar once wondered which equipment would be needed on the Moon - do we need raise those questions again? Space Studies Institute, by late O&#x27;Neill, who inspired Bezos, did some research into mass drivers ( <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ssi.org&#x2F;category&#x2F;mass-drivers&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ssi.org&#x2F;category&#x2F;mass-drivers&#x2F;</a> ) - can BO help deploy something like that on the surface of the Moon?<p>We don&#x27;t need landers alone. We&#x27;ll soon need a whole range of equipment for Moon exploration, there will be more and other needs, BO needs to participate.
