Oh great, another multi billion dollar boondoggle like the Space Shuttle that taxpayers will be forced to fund.
Sorry, but it's time to put NASA out of business.

Will this make Muslims feel better about themselves? “Nearer, my Moon God, to thee?”

Or, is NASA under new management?

I wonder if they could just re-purpose the ISS for this. Boost it over there. Why build something new?

Cis-lunar—is that one of those politically-correct gender thingies?

Why not use one of the Lagrangian Points?

A Lagrange point is a location in space where the combined gravitational forces of two large bodies, such as Earth and the sun or Earth and the moon, equal the centrifugal force felt by a much smaller third body.

No worries about losing the altitude, orbital track or moving.
