NASA has an “Artemis mission” planned. The goal is to establish a permanent moon base. But I don’t see what we can do there that we can’t do with robots. We’d have to provide space for people to live, and food, and water, and all that stuff. Not even mentioning 1/6 gravity isn’t exactly healthy.

I’d rather we just send robots to the moon and do what we need to do there until we can easily build huge habitats for people.

    Should we ever decide to go to other planets like Mars, the Moon is a lower cost, safer place to demo the tech first.
