Privatising the moon may sound like a crazy idea but the sky’s no limit for avarice | Arwa Mahdawi
A free-market thinktank says it’s time to start selling off ‘plots of moon land’ – we need to act now before the plundering starts

Of all the priorities...
I once debated with Eric Weinstein on his Portal Discord server a year ago about whether outer space should be our priority at hand. His argument was we need to focus on better technologies than rocket propulsion to more efficiently extend our range.
I've always believed outer space is skipping steps. We should explore and colonize the oceans first since they're easier, closer by, have an abundance of natural resources, and plenty of space. Life support logistics underwater would help prepare for outer space travel too.
