Literati Moon-ISRU homepage

The objective of this site is to promote the establishment of a self-sufficient moon colony. Here, self-sufficiency is defined as the ability for the inhabitants to survive without support from Earth. The rationale for making a moon colony self-sufficient is both to reduce costs by eliminating the need for material supplies from Earth, and to provide the inhabitants a feeling of security and independence. By introducing the paradigm shift of self-sufficiency, the current focus on extracting minerals needed for immediate survival will shift towards a holistic view of the manufacturing process chain, producing all mining, production and life support facilities in a unified approach to in-situ resource utilisation.
