Let's not tamper with the moon, as its very likely to throw us out of orbit if we do. lol

"Is that human exploration or human exploitation? ;)"I accidentally read it as exploitation and did a double-take O_O.

Well, lets not get toooooo excited. One of the possible ideas of how the moon formed was a proto planet caliding into earth and what spun out was what we now call the moon. So, it is possible that all this iron oxide, is just iron oxide from earth thats billions of years old...
