Lunar resources could have great value just by their location. The energy cost to lift them into space is much lower than from Earth. Doing anything ambitious in space would require a lot of material, which has limited our ambitions since the 1970s.

(Asteroids might serve better, though: a wider variety of stuff, comparable in energy cost but farther away.)

I wish the damn article would link to this new report, or at least give me the keywords to search for.
