Well you haven't thought of the most efficient means of transporting supplies and equipment. "Cable" You drop a cable from the moon to the earth and then haul the stuff back up. We did this from our treehouse as kids. Before we thought of this idea it was costing us an extreme amount of effort to haul up each thing we wanted 1 or 2 at a time. After the rope "Elevator" was installed we could move more stuff faster. We even got mom to ride in it until the rope broke. She was a nice lady.

You cannot "drop a cable from the moon to the earth" due to elementary physics. Hint: examine the motions of both bodies--ALL of their motions.
The space elevator concept goes to GEO (geo synchronous orbit) for a reason. Please try not to comment on issues you know less than nothing about.
