Flywheel Effects of the Greater Earth Lunar Power Station

"To build a bridge is much more than connecting points A and B. It's laying the foundations of a whole new economy" The development and growth of the Greater Earth Lunar Power Station (GE⊕-LPS) system will build upon several “flywheel effects”, which accelerate each other, build greater momentum, and maintain growth over a long time.
