i'm all for space and would love to be a part of it, but i just can't say that i see much of a use for a moon base other than to launch ships to other parts of the solar system. i wish i could go but i think it would be better to start building an orbiting infrastructure before we build on the moon it seems like we are skiping a step. i guess this is all pretty far down the road. mars and more importantly the resource rich asteroid field beyond mars but i just can't see that as economical for the here and now. hey who knows maybe if we build this setup now we will have a major advantage in the futeur, as you can see i am a little conflicted on this issue.
