I think it's officially time to fake another moon landing!
Seriously, though, think about this from the US government's perspective. We're far more likely to try to use the moon as a base for nuclear weapons launches (if we're not already) than we are to try and populate it. Money is the ever-lasting and all-powerful master of the earth and I don't see anything enormously profitable stemming from a moon colony. I of course am wrong in that viewpoint but I doubt I'll live long enough to be proven wrong! HA!
edit: I too prefer it to be spelled, "whoa!" and so, apparently, does the spell check on my computer
