What if the fastest way to save Earth was to build a village on the Moon?That's not science fiction. That's the radical, rigorously-thought-through proposition behind Project Moon Hut — and at the centre of it is David Goldsmith, one of the world's most provocative innovation thinkers and the architect of the Mearth (Moon + Earth) economic system.In this episode of Radical Truth, host Robert Rubinstein, Founder of TBLI Group — one of the world's leading voices on sustainable finance, ESG, and impact investing — sits down with David Goldsmith, Co-Founder of the Project Moon Hut Foundation, the organisation working in collaboration with NASA-affiliated researchers, scientists, and innovators to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon — for the explicit purpose of solving the converging crises facing Earth.David is a global futurist, paradigm-shift thinker, and the developer of the Innovation methodology used by governments, Fortune 500 companies, and universities worldwide. Through Project Moon Hut, he is building the case that lunar infrastructure is not an escape plan — it is leverage. Leverage to accelerate clean energy, regenerative agriculture, advanced materials, water systems, climate resilience, and a new economic model that integrates Moon and Earth into a single, mutually-reinforcing ecosystem.In this conversation, we explore:-Why a Moon Hut — and why now? The thinking that flips space exploration on its head-The Mearth ecosystem: how lunar innovation drives Earth-side breakthroughs in energy, food, water, and shelter-Why incremental thinking is failing the climate crisis — and what radical, exponential thinking looks like instead-The role of capital, investors, and business in financing humanity's next leap-How space-based innovation has historically delivered the technologies we now take for granted on Earth-Why David believes solving Earth's mega-problems requires us to look far beyond Earth-The moral, economic, and civilisational stakes of getting this decade rightThis is a conversation about radical truth: that the scale of our problems demands a scale of imagination most leaders are still afraid to access — and that the boldest path forward may also be the most practical one.🌖 Learn more & take action: https://projectmoonhut.org💼 TBLI Group: https://www.tbligroup.com🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3h3sUhuclxb2BETNEXY1mN⏱ TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Introduction02:30 – Who is David Goldsmith?
