I like the whole Idea, besides who says that the US Government has to pay for the trip or the base on the moon? Why can't some business fork over part of the money needed to help establish a station on the moon?
Did You know that the hotel industry has commistioned a study on what a Moon Resort would cost to build? And wheather it would make money or not? Business thinks about space and the moon more than people relize. The only thing holding space travel back is the cost per pound to put something into space. Figure out a way to lower the cost and you will have single handedly made space a lot more attractive for business. Once business gets interested it's only a matter of time before space travel will become akin to traveling on a airplane.
So really the only thing that the government has to do is lower the cost of getting into space. After that it becomes a snowball effect.
Just my humble opinion.
