Shimizu Corporation, a Japanese architecture and engineering firm, has a
plan <

effectively turn the moon into a giant solar power plant, reports

It proposes building a massive collection of solar panels (a "Luna
Ring") 6,800 miles long by 12 miles wide on the moon's surface.
That's certainly a heavy-duty construction job for human beings, so
Shimizu plans to get the work done with robots, only involving humans in
supervisory roles.
