MoonMan hasn't been back to the moon since 1972, but that hasn't stopped a team of Japanese engineers from developing a plan to turn our celestial neighbor into a massive solar power plant.

The plan calls for a massive 12 mile-wide, 6,800 mile long "Luna Ring" of solar panels to be constructed on the moon's surface....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/japanese-corporation-plans-to-turn-the-moon-into-a-massive-solar-power-plant/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
