Energy Value: Helium 3 nuclear power generation
More than 1 million tons of helium-3 minerals have been identified on the lunar surface soil. This mineral is the only source of nuclear fusion power that won't produce radiation, and it also set the foundation for the Moon to become an Earth Energy Server |

Mineral Value: Ilmenite, Gold Mine
The lunar surface soil contains large amounts of ilmenite, aluminum and gold, which could be self sufficient for the moon to become an industrial base for building spaceships. |

Traffic Value: the spacecraft from the Moon to Mars is launched by ejection only
Launching spacecraft on earth would have to overcome gravity and air friction. Since the moon's gravity is only 1/6 of the earth's moon, it takes only a sixth of the speed to get into orbit, and since the moon's surface is vacuous, there is no air resistance, so the amount of fuel needed to launch a spacecraft on the moon is only 1/20 of that on earth. And the recovery spacecraft don't have to worry about getting into the atmosphere and burning up as it does on earth. The moon is the best gateway to outer space. |

Communication Value: low gravity wave, no atmosphere, Moon serves as a better communication station for the whole universe
Unlike the manmade green land and FAST interstellar observation system on earth, the moon craters can be used directly for interstellar communication system without being affected by atmosphere, thus it provides the basis for a future communications relay on Mars and earth. And its extremely minimum gravitational waves would provide much better observation quality. |

Military Value: the indefensible space-based weapon system
The moon based reconnaissance and attack is able to appear above anywhere on earth within 12 hours. Such a system could offer a whole new solution in global anti-terrorism events. |
