It is a New Year, 2015, and I like the above link that Geoff sent me.
You have probably seen many of the pictures Chris Hadfield has posted to the Internet from the ISS.
Wouldn't it be nice to see someone post some pictures from lunar activities at a new lunar outpost.
As Picard would say, "Make it so."

The Moon Miners’ Manifesto has been edited and published by Peter Kokh ten times per year since December 1986. Presented here are (1) chronological collections of non-time-sensitive articles from previous issues, one PDF collection per calendar year, and (2) collected articles by theme.
The next giant leap for mankind should be back on the moon not Mars, the astronaut Chris Hadfield has said.
