LOLA Maps the Moon

The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter that's hitching a ride aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, will give us the best view of the Moon any of us have ever seen. Its information data bank will be used to create highly detailed surface maps for future lunar exploration missions. Soon, someone will begin building a permanent facility on the Moon. Who do you think will be first?
Incidentally, have you ever wondered what will become of all those people who have been buying pieces of "actual lunar real estate"? Can they build on that land? Is it suddenly valuable?
Read this article for a serious look at extraterrestrial real estate in all its fabled glory.
