Not enough water on the Moon to sustain a Human Settlement.
The Outer Space Treaty of 1967, signed first by the major powers and subsequently by about 100 other countries, governs exploration and use of celestial bodies. Among the rules: No nuclear weapons up there.


Now here's a thought, an Independent Scotland could solve 3 Moon problems at once.
Firstly, send water - we have an abundance of it.
Secondly, send them Trident - we don't want it.
Thirdly, send known hardy souls who can survive in desperate conditions, Tommy Sheridan, George Galloway to name but two.
For those dedicated moon worshippers here's a great source of the Moon's formation;

'Been there, done that' seems to be the attitude. There is nothing to be gained by going back. Focus has shifted to Mars where there is some evidence of subsurface water which opens the possibility of microbiological life forms. However the cost wold be enormous and in the present economic climate it could be some time before that happens.
