And again, as we said, you need fertilizer to grow food.

That comes through the straight.

You need fuel to transport the food.

That is going up in cost.

And then you have to package the food in plastic, which is also going up, which is why we could see a chunky inflation reading in the next few months.

Let's go through these three phases that were maybe laid out in the McKinsey PowerPoint presentation.

Phase one goes through 2028.

They want to basically just send up a relentless barrage of private robotic landers.

No humans are going to be involved in any of that.

21 landings total.

They want to bring four metric tons of payload to the moon.

These will include things like

rovers that can explore the surface and look for key resources.

Phase two goes from 2028 through 2032 or so.

That is when you're going to start to build semi-habitable infrastructure.

That comes with 27 landings with a total mass of

60 metric tons.

So you're bringing a lot more stuff to the moon in that phase.

And then phase three, 2029 through 2036 or so, that is establishing infrastructure to support a continued human presence.

That is when people are on the moon itself.
