What role will the moon play in man's next attempts to conquer space?
Chapter 1: A Matter of Gravity
Where and how are we going into space post Space Shuttle?
Further travel in space is inhibited by the challenges of gravity wells and the science and cost of developing vehicles that can transcend them.
How can the moon possibly help with this problem and move space exploration to the next level?
Chapter 2: Water - The Big Question
Right now, we know there is water on the Moon. But how much water? Is water largely at the poles?
These are strategic knowledge gaps that scientists are working to fill in, and a resource prospector robot will be launched to the moon in the 2020s to look for the presence of water.
Chapter 3: From Outpost to Colony
The US efforts to colonise the Moon will follow the lunar exploration roadmap, laid out with events taking place over decades. Other countries have plans as well.
How will robots be deployed to work on the Moon? At what stage will people inhabit the environment? What minerals will be harvested?

Lunar days are about 14 Earth days long, and when night comes, temperatures plummet.
But there are other issues to deal with as well.
For instance, how can we overcome the moon's lack of atmosphere, difficult terrain with abrasive particles, and the effects of cosmic background radiation?
