Inspiring our young people to go into careers in science and technology is an investment that is more than worthwhile. Children who watched the moon landing broadcast grew up to lead us into the information age, who knows what today's young people could do if given the proper inspiration.
Plus, the moon could be a valuable testing ground for space construction. no one knows what its like to try and put up a wall or run plumbing in a low grav environment, and also its a launchpad to Mars as others have said. fully manufacturing and building a craft then launching it from the moon to anywhere else would be incredibly cheaper than it is to escape the earth's gravitational field.
