Sure. Right around the same time that the South Sandwich Islands have 200 storey skyscrapers and a population half the density that Hong Kong has today and McDonalds sells the McSoylent Green Mac for 3000 Stelo-creds.

ever, possibly, soon? No. We sooner live in Antarctica before we live on the moon. There need to be resources there that we want before we would go there.

I predict that by the year 2112. The permanent human population of the Moon will be over Ten Thousand.

The Chinese will be the next ones on the moon. America doesn`t thirst for those adventures anymore.

...And here we thought the bullet train was a boondoogle
According to fed rules all government contracts must be union wages...and built by union thugs

If we eve lose our government centric society I would say yes. It will be the free market that does it.

If private ownership and exploitation of resources were allowed, it would happen much sooner.

an extended economic boom that allows us to fund ambitious space exploration
That's what it will take but that can only happen if the West is unshackled and Liberalism, Environmentalism, Socialism and Progressivism are put in chains, forever.
We're a long way from that happening.
As much as I like our odds for living on the moon sometime in the future (as the author says, the future is long), there's also a chance that the envirosocialists will win and we'll all end up eating turnips, riding on donkey carts and living in caves for a greatly extended dark ages.
Remember, liberals, environmentalists, socialists and progressives view the human race as a great evil, and want most of us dead. If they continue to get their way, there's not going to be any great economic boom with its consequent flowering of space travel.

A great way to shoot down the anthropogenic global warming weenies is to ask them to explain why the moon is warming.
I usually pause for a moment at that point, look ‘em in the eye, and ask:
‘Do you think it’s ‘cause of those little lunar rover SUVs from the 60s?’

Very likely. But they will leave as fast as we did - likely for the same reason; just ask Neil Armstrong.

America does thirst for modern adventures in navel contemplation and shoe sniffing leading the way to a glorious future where everyone in equal, except for those more equal than others.

I heard really fat people, 500+ and up, would do well on the moon. Their weight would be an advantage.
