Hmmm.. moon bases to me means “mining”
There’s heaps of helium 3 in the regolith of the moon which is used for nuclear fusion
It’s a safe non radioactive isotope which is the prime ingredient in a fusion reactor
Byproduct is H2O amongst other things
It’s years away but fusion reactors could power our planet for centuries
Apollo 17 lunar module pilot Harrison ( Jack ) Schmidt proposed the idea 10 years ago and was ignored
What else do you fly to the moon for .... geology , views of the earth ?
The US has already done that , how many more rock samples do you need to study
Think about it for a while .........
