"If you can find some of the material you need on the moon then a moon base to get the material would make sense but you probably would want the solar energy powerplant in geosynchronous orbit." That is what I was trying to say. The moon is a good source of raw materials, you can get high quality nickel steel just by magnetically separating the lunar dust. The lighter, more volatile elements are missing, like hydrogen and carbon, but there is silicon, aluminum and iron, either as pure elements or as oxides.
