Serious question, how is he going to pay for the huge build up of the Space Program that such a mission would require? Not bashing the idea, since I am xNasa, but going to the moon and building a man capable base is not going to be cheap (or easy). Cost could be somewhat mitigated by surface mining h3, and who knows what else of value might be found/built there but the initial cost will be huge.
You might want to listen to what he had to say...I believe it is posted at C-SPAN...it doesn't run very long.
“Serious question, how is he going to pay for the huge build up of the Space Program that such a mission would require?”
Well, he could abolish the EPA, DOT, NEA, DOE, BAFTE, DOC, DOI...what have I missed?
The DOE has a bleeding SWAT team. What the hell does DOE need a SWAT team for? Bureaucratic overreach is a serious problem.
He could also revive the economy with serious reductions in taxes and regulations, which would produce a Laffer curve.

For starters, you get rid of the bureaucratic approach to government.
