My capstone project will be about why we should colonize the moon first, instead of Mars. The two media objects I plan to use are the infographic and the remixed video. The infographic will contain facts and statistics related to the Moon and our attempts at colonizing it. The remixed video will contain footage from multiple sources mixed with audio from interviews and will explore why we should colonize the Moon, how we would colonize the Moon, and what it would be like living on the Moon.

Growing up, one of my favorite books was about a Lunar colony gaining independence from Earth. The book is called "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein. pic.twitter.com/5Nd2tCGISS
