    I’m not holding my breath. Musk has managed to kill my enthousiasm for space technology and development singlehandedly.

    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.

    Why do you think the moon will be relevant once the first m-type astroid is mined?

      We don’t really have a lot of science on low gravity environments.

      We know a lot about what happens in 1 g. We’re starting to understand a bunch about 0 g. We have almost no information about 1/6th g.

      The capitalist notion of making money on the moon is still a pipe dream, but the science we can gain by having a lab there is undeniable.
