| "People have told me that Robert Heinlein had the idea for lunar concrete first in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress but I read back through it and can't find the reference. Anyone?" (Bill Christensen 5/1/2004 7:01:03 PM ) |
| "Try Ben Bova's "Welcome to Moonbase" for mention on lunar resources." (defro1378 10/8/2004 6:17:15 PM ) |
