I respectfully request an endorsement from your gracious country for the following UN proposal

I propose we take the lunar base further, and begin a permanent mining colony on the moon, this way, we will have the basic know-how and experience to move even further than the moon and someday colonize Mars.

I propose, not heavy mineral depleting mining, just minor excaveation. Study the different elements of the Moon. Even more importantly have a steady stream of traffic from here to the Moon. Send small mining families, heavy military police force, and lunar scientists.

Build radio telescope relays, and begin launching permanent telecommunication satellites around the Moon. Turn it into a metropolis. Send long term prisoners there for labor resources. Get other countries involved besides fellow U.N. nations. Make the moon an asset to the mother world of Earth. Cease heavy mining on our own planet.

Build and launch the Moon's own space program, that works along with ours. The first man mission to Mars should be launched from this program.

In conclusion, I propose a long term space exploration plan that utilizes the Moon as a stepping stone to Mars, increases U.N. territory and increase our small knowledge of the universe.

Thank you for your time

I respectfully request an endorsement from your gracious country for the following UN proposal....

Your obviously expecting the the current UNSC resolution to pass.
It's a totaly flawed proposal that, even if it is passed, will not work in practice. You have some good ideas, but they would be better put to used in a re-draft of the UNSC plan. Vote NO on the UNSC proposal, hopefully is will be dumped, then submit your proposal, but include how to establish a moon base first, how funding will be achieved etc...
