Plus once you get it working, you can set up retirement communities up there. Gives old people a chance to take a pioneering risk so we can sort out the kinks and grow the space with purpose, and makes them feel a lot better being in reduced gravity.

I’ve even got a slogan! It’s cheesy and totally 1950s sci-fi, so perfect!

“Retire in comfort on the moon, where 1/6 gravity makes old bodies feel new again!”
