Meet the Man Who Wants to Mine the Moon

The moon is made of far more valuable stuff than green cheese. And one man wants to capitalize on that fact.

NASA, which ended America's space shuttle program in June, says it wants to privatize spaceflight. Naveen Jain, co-founder and chairman of Moon Express, Inc., wants to go a step further: He wants to privatize the moon itself.  Jain's company plans to piggyback on private shuttle flights, using them to carry his lunar landers and mining platforms to the moon.

Green cheese indeed -- there's cash in them lunar hills!
