Well Steve, an isolated area (supposedly undesirable for human habitat)  was
the topic and  a particular part of Australia was the example.  I suggested
the moon as being totally ridiculous.  I serious doubt that given all the
money in the world that you could sustain life for a long period of time on
the moon at this time in human existence.    Either way, pack your bags and
move to either the moon or to that desolate part of Australia that gentleman
suggested. Never to return I might add.   Nothing was said about financing
your move or how you would live.  That's up to you.
