Material Complexity
While INS 04 has many goals, it's main task is to mine materials from the moon and send them back to the earth for importing. Each country will get a chance to collect an equal part of resources gathered from the moon in order to prevent any conflict over who gets more of these precious materials. They will be costly, however, both to attain and for the people buying them. The net gain from these resources will be used to continue funding the project. There is also a limit on the amount of resource that can be gathered from the moon in a particular area, as to not completely eradicate all of the moon's precious and limited resources.The whole of INS 04 is a mining colony, however there are other sections. The main purpose of these separate sections is scientific research that is conducted to test how things work in the harsh conditions of space, further exploration of our solar system, and research of further expansion of the moon colony, possibly even to other planets. Being on the moon presents a great advantage to such tests and many other scientific advancements that would not be possible to achieve on the earth. The town will function like a giant work place, as well as a society to make people happy, where everyone contributes an equal portion to the development of the colony. People spend the whole of their day working, and personal life is not to get in the way of work. The hope is that this colony will become the pinnacle of space and technology research, and will allow access to resources on the moon that are not available on the earth.
