Description: This is my rendition of the Independent Lunar colony flag design from the Robert Heinlein novel, "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." -- "Professor de la Paz asks Mannie to assure that Luna adopts a flag consisting of a brass cannon over a red bar on a black background with stars, "a symbol for all fools who are so impractical as to think they can fight City Hall". TANSTAAFL = There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch
Description: "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" (TANSTAAFL) is a phrase that describes the cost of decision-making and consumption. TANSTAAFL suggests that things that appear to be free will always have some hidden or implicit cost to someone, even if it is not the individual receiving the benefit.
