    Yay, more money, time and effort being wasted to send people to the moon to learn nothing and do nothing we couldn’t do MUCH cheaper without people.

      99% agree, I still think the spacex effort for Mars colonisation is important but landing people on the moon makes no sense.

      fund more things like viper, Europa clipper, perseverance, iss, etc. science is way more important than the politically motivated return of humans to the moon

      Yeah, let’s pack it all up. We’ve learned everything we can.

      I’d support it for the training and experience alone.

        No, let’s not stop exploring and learning. Let’s just do it with metal and plastic, and not meat. Robots do great in space, humans don’t.

        All that mass could be scientific equipment instead of air, food and water and a return vehicle. Robots don’t care about going home, after all. We could learn more thing for less money, instead of dick measuring by sending humans.
