Picture the scenario. We've destroyed our own world but instead of dying
with it, everyone jumps on an elevator to the moon. Unbelievably, it's
not as far fetched as it sounds. With global warming threatening the
Earth's ecosystems and energy demands far exceeding supplies, society
could be on the verge of collapse. But there is a solution. We could
build a space elevator and colonise Mars. Or obtain the next generation
of fuel from asteroids. This visionary, and ahead-of-its-time
documentary, examines how we could save the earth by exploiting the
planets.
“Experiments prove you can actually grow your own food in moon soil”, states Dr Alan Binder from Lunar Prospector.
