Never forget that we’re essentially borrowing from the Chinese every penny to fund this, and they will need to be repaid by someone.

That is good to see!

We dont have to send people there right now, we can send an army of robots to mine for resources and build elaborate lunar bases. There is no real signal lag, so they can be directly controlled by people safely on Earth.

All we have to do then is just land people there and they can walk right in.
