Another nice thing is it's easier to build a tower on the moon.
A section of Rohn 25g weights only 6 1/2 pounds.
Except for the fact that the lack of an atmosphere exposes the tower to the
solar wind, and unfortunately Rohn 25 is not rated for 1 million mile per hour
wind speed.
And before the data nerds chime in, yes; the wind on Earth moving at 100 mph
exerts 232 million times more pressure on a tower than would the solar wind on
the moon...I just figured as long as we were off topic I'd contribute to the
fun!
Cheers & 73,
