Good for you, Mortekai. I admire your passion for this project. I love the idea of building a mining colony at a lunar pole and then creating a trading route to bring the products back home. I'm assuming you need vehicles at each end to do the surface-to-orbit trips, then huge freighters to do the trans-lunar legs. You then need something in orbit at each end to corral the containers for pick-up (e.g. some way to strap the containers into long sausage-lines rolling prograde around the moon or earth, and a way to chain / de-chain them efficiently. You'll need a source of fuel for the vehicles: something mineable from the moon maybe? Anyway - real happy to contribute to the missions or planning when you get to that point.
