Following the impact of meteor bgyf/34/gh/89 on the surface of the moon, obtaining water now moved within the realms of possibility.
Lunar landscapes moved in to fill this gap and started to process this and other ores to produce O2 H2O and N2. i.e. air and water. As a by product of this, it was also found that a concrete like building substrate could be produced on the lunar surface. This offered excellent protection from micro to mini meteorites and vastly reduced the raw material which needed to be uploaded from the Earth.
Starting with much smaller operations enough O2 and H2O was produced to support a small scientific permanent base. Funding from this acted as a seed to set up an investment company to implement a larger operation. The success of this allowed the set up of an industrial scale operation which in turn led to larger scientific bases and increased funding. Luna_One was born and started to grow
It was now possible to mine, process ore and produce air and water on the surface of the moon. It will soon be possible to set up a food production unit in addition to the water and air which would lead to a base which required minimal resupply. Working along side of companies producing solar power units designed to work for 14 days non stop at a time, a full time base could be set up.
With the return of pre-processed moon rock used as an up market interior building material, the cost of a round trip to the moon was farther reduced. While many doubted this as a viable revenue stream, it still produced a substance far rarer than any precious metal.
