Private moon-mine opens in Sweden
Dale Amon (Belfast, Northern Ireland/Laramie, Wy)  Aerospace

Niklas Järvstråt has invested in a simulation of a lunar settlement using an old Swedish mine which he bought some years ago.

Just a short note to mention that the moon-mine inauguration and moon landing 40-year anniversary will take place tomorrow at Storgruvan, Nora, in the middle of Sweden. We will start the pumps and make footprints in lunar regolith simulant FJS-1, donated by Shimizu cormoration. Maria Aldrin, Buzz Aldrins great great great grandfathers great great great great great great granddaughter, will make the first footprint for the mine. We are looking forward to an interesting program of local and national interest, and a recorded well wishing message from the Romanian Space agency. Happy anniversary, all "lunatics" and space buffs!

Niklas is part of a world wide conspiracy to settle the moon and planets. Shhhh. Forget I told you that...

Good fortune to all those involved.
