86. You've no idea what you're talking about.

I work for a particular govt agency that deals with space.

This is no big deal. Once you get past the inital outlay. All the tech exsists.

Once you get past the intial deployment of the required equiptment and personnel.

1. Make sorties to the moon. Set up a base and nuclear reactor for your intial power supply.

2. Moon dust is nothing more than pulverized minerals. Titanium, aluminuim, silicon, Hydrogen and other gases bonded to the dust, driven by the solar winds.

5. Collect the dust from several football sized fields. 3 football fields could collect several million tons of raw marterials. You collect the dust with huge mobile industiral sized "Vacum Cleaners" think the size of Farmers Combines, either automated or man-piloted.

4. Using the reactor you pass the collected dust a plasma arc to release the hydrogen and other lesser gases to use for other processes like water, O2. Everything you need to reduce shipments to the moon.

5. The reactor powers a smelter. Dust goes in raw materials come out.

6. Raw materials go to an semi-automated factory to build the panels.

7. Panels are put in place using a comination of robots and drones.
