A higher big-picture priority these daze might be protecting the Earth from destruction by asteroids. 3 zipped by yesterday, 1 closer than the moon. NASA was late in announcing this. A better detecting system needed?
For that matter, I’d rather see the gazillions put into moon launches and space travel redirected into a global system for downing rogue asteroids that could threaten life on Earth at any moment. Misplaced priority IMHO.
