Your figures seem fine but I see one problem. If you start saving at 20 you arnt ready to purchase a colony untill your 40. If it takes 10 years from the time you start purchase untill you can expect delivery ,then the mean a ge of the colonists will be 55 to 60. The moon may be a great place to spend your old age and you could maybe live to be a hundred there but this isn't proven yet. (And source of income) If you want to leverage your buy of a colony you need a way to payback the morgage. If all your investors go to the moon they wont have a proven source of income and all of ther planet side job income will disipear.(accept maybe retirment benifits) And the banks at least in the US frown on giving loans to anyone whos life expectancey is shorter than the loan period. I hate playing the bad guy, your ideas have merit and I will give it personal consideration, but you had beter think of using a Japanese bank.(They are starting to give 100 year morgages to families as aposed to individuals.) And youd better think about sending your kids. beaufait @cebaf2.cebaf.gov
