ON SEPTEMBER 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy made his famous “We choose to go to the Moon” speech at Rice University in Houston, Texas. The speech was meant to persuade the American people to support the effort of NASA to send a manned space flight to the Moon. 53 years later, we are now discussing how to mine the Moon for its bountiful, treasure-trove of untapped rare earth elements. Is the moon ripe for the picking, and if so, what is the payoff?
