In addition to drastically cutting back on our failed public school system
to finance lunar exploration projects, another resource is the great level
of jewelry that is hoarded in America & the world.

Let me explain this - based on U.S. sales of around $40 billion a year, I
estimate that there exists aprox. $1 trillion of jewelry just in our country
alone. Since most jewelry sits unused in closets or other secured areas, I
see this as a huge waste. In the long run a private organization could
scrounge up about $1billion in donations (of jewelry) a year which would
enable us to carry out robotic lunar missions & resume worthwhile manuf. on
the space station.

A few hundred million more could be raised to help relieve world hunger &
for pet charities. Your thoughts?
