Problem and Opportunity

Describe the problem or issue you are researching or aim to solve, including quantifying the magnitude and the consequences of the problem and of your solution. I.e. Every year 200,000 cats die on Moon Base Alpha due to lactose intolerance. A solution to this tragedy has eluded the animal pharmaceutical industry. However, if those 200,000 cats could be saved, it would present a solution to the vermin infestation problem on the moon, reducing space tourists deaths of bubonic plague by 70% within 6 months.
