It will probably take that to shake us out of our low Earth orbit slumber, but I hope we have enough common sense to revive our moon efforts before they go there. We have a nice expensive space station in LEO already, it should be a lot easier to go back to the moon with the ISS as a staging point.

No, the ISS has no value as a lunar staging point. It's at too high an inclination, and too expensive to get to.

The ISS is of no use in going to the moon. What are you reading?

Dump it in some ocean now and stop spending money on it.
