Here's a teensy clue (there's lots more where this comes from): ONE 1-mi diameter rocky asteroid nudged into Earth orbit would provide more base and precious metals than have been excavated in Earth's history. It would provide a wealth equivalent to $1,000,000 for every living human. Metals processing in microgravity has immense advantages, including the production of alloys and crystalline forms of iron etc. with unprecedented properties (strength, lightness, and many exotic electronic features). The moon is a match for the Earth's crust in composition, with the addition of various light elements that have been dispersed here. An example is Helium-3, a royal road to fusion power. If you must know what's on the other side of every door before you open it, you'll never leave the small suite of rooms you already know. Which may be just fine for you; others of us have more going on in our heads and hearts. Kevin;

The winning Council post was Right Wing Nut House’s post, “Little Noted But Long Remembered”, Rick’s thoughts on the 38th anniversary of Apollo 11. Sharing second place honors were Cheat Seeking Missiles’s “Russia vs. the U. S.—No Contest”, a very interesting case study of the differences in business climate between the two countries, and The Colossus of Rhodey’s “Boy, Was Thomas Rightt” about racial and religious integration in the schools in Britain.
