The City Needs the Mountains
The idea of mountains seen as an impervious territory, far from services and economic-cultural flows, is by now obsolete.

The use of local resources will constitute the fundamental factor for the emergence of a commercial Moon market starting from the extraction and refinement of ice for the production of propellant. The activities of exploration ...

The integration and ...
