...energy from the sun, which beats down directly on the moon's surface, unfiltered by atmosphere. Solar furnaces could be constructed, consisting of mirrors that focus the sun's fierce beams on a target. Using these, Zwicky suggests, man could work wonders with lunar rock. The furnaces could melt lunar gravel and soil, which could be cast into bricks for building shelters. They could also be used to heat moon rocks enough to release their locked-in water.

Unfortunately, man will not be around to see this spectacular view. The expanding sun will boil away the oceans, melt rock and heat the earth's surface to 4,000 degrees F. It will leave man's dwelling place a lifeless inferno...
