 3) Therefore the "motion" to ban minning on the moon is merely a chimera

The winds could shift significantly if China demonstrates a legitimate
space/moon effort. The three countries that have the most to gain
with moon colonization are Japan, China and India. Its certainly not
the U.S. or Russia.

As I understand it this movement is in part a response to the news that the
Chinese are indeed planning to set up a Moon base in the near future and
move to commercially exploit the Moon's resources. There was another report
on this a few days ago (also in The Times, IIRC).
