...ears, but in our mouths. Your kid will probably find Tooth Tunes to be a thrill, but there are a few issues: the best way to listen to the song is by holding the brush still between your teeth, and each brush only comes with one song. Mine was the Rocky theme, and other material ranges from Hilary Duff to Queen, but you may want to plan ahead and buy a few to keep around. They?ll be on sale in stores next year, but you can get them now for $10 a piece at www.toothtunes.com...

...There are other, trickier challenges that would have to be overcome. Part of the justification for a lunar base has always been that the moon is rich in helium-3, an isotope of common helium that could serve as fuel in eventual fusion reactors. Astronauts could, in theory, mine the stuff and ship it back to Earth. That's fine, but first we have to, well, invent the reactor.
