Just print a couple hundred billion $’s and we’re off to the moon!

Like the Apollo program, the money spent on a sound well thought out lunar program will return far more money than it took to create as well as new and beneficial inventions and discoveries - which like the computer and phone you use now, you will not want to live without. Nor when you go to the doctor the MRI machine, among a huge list of medical devises that keep people like you and me healthy and alive.
Here in Wisconsin, many used the same financial argument for getting the multi-billion dollar US Foxconn plant. They believed that spending $3 billion to get Foxconn was unacceptable and, as you said, a waste of money.
Turns out that for every $1 spent by the state, the return per year is $3 just for the plant itself. That figure does not count the return to the state from all the subsidiary and supply business which will build near it in Racine.
It takes money to make money. Risks are part of the game. Although some would prefer to watch China colonize the moon, reaping the benefits and gladly selling them to the US ‘cheap’. That is the “Make America Last Program” or “America’s No Future Project” or “Make America Great Again like Obama Did Proposition”.
And BTW for most everything the government does we print money to get these days - that is until we get America back on its collective feet financially which will take big expenditures to achieve - just like rebuilding the military money will have to be printed to return it to a viable force from the hollow collapsing shell Obama made.
