### If heat rejection turns out to be a limiting factor, then real estate
near lunar poles would be very valuable, and that not even mentioning the
water deposits found preferentially there.

Whoever lands first and grabs as much land as they can hold on to, will be
rich.

I wonder how the property rights will develop there. Land acquisition by
homesteading under telluric law? New lunar law? Do you need to bring a
shotgun, just in case?
