NASA is now making plans to inhabit the moon. Creating a manned station there is the next step towards a Mars expedition. Will AI be capable of handling concepts such as "eminent domain" when the Robert Moses of tomorrow starts thinking about infrastructure? Will the first housing be condominiums or coops? What about rent stabilization on the moon? What would be the equivalent of the LIE in outer space and where would it end? If you remember The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was based on the demolition of the earth for a hyperspace bypass. Arthur Dent is the last surviving earth man. It'll be a case of life mirroring in this case comic art, as residents of this planet now find themselves on the brink of facing the judge in a celestial housing court.
