Chip Proser believes the moon holds the key to solving many impending problems facing mankind, including global climate change and dwindling energy resources. Using technology that already exists, Proser asserts that we could colonize the moon and build solar arrays there that beam microwave power back to Earth, safely supplying the energy needs of the planet. Proser has created a DVD documentary called Gaia Selene that examines how humanity can forge an exciting new life on the moon and save Earth in the process. Watch a video preview here.

Hurricane Rita (pictured) is strengthening as it moves across the Gulf area and may attain Category 4 status by Wednesday. The mayor of Galveston, Texas has ordered a mandatory evacuation for some parts of the city. How do hurricanes get their names? The World Meteorological Organization creates an annual list which is then reused six years later. However, the names of especially damaging storms such as Charley, Frances, and Jeanne are retired permanently. This year's list has only four more names on it, so meteorologists may turn to Greek words.

In June 2002 Dr. Simeon Hein and the Rocky Mountain Research Institute conducted a crop circle experiment in a Kansas wheat field. The group created a 12-foot diameter formation using a stalk-stomping board. According to Hein, their manmade circle changed the static electricity meter by more than 2500 volts. They also discovered strange light anomalies in photos taken at the formation. Hein believes this experiment shows that manmade crop circles can produce paranormal effects.

The Los Angeles Times reported on Saturday that economic losses from Hurricane Katrina are likely to top $100 billion, making it the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history. Private insurers will probably cover less than a quarter of that figure. Federal money and charitable contributions will likely be needed to handle the remaining losses.There are also staggering losses expected from the interruption of business and displacement of residents. According to the The Independent, New Orleans will have to be shut for at least nine months, and many of its residents could remain homeless for up to two years. The cost of not doing business in New Orleans has been estimated by Risk Management Solutions at around $100 million a day.
