The moon is a good stopping point, and it's definitely a thing we need for now. If we ignore it, we would need a forgetton more fuel, a forgetton more rockets to carry that fuel, a forgetton more fuel for the rockets to push off the ground, and over and over again. We're looking at trillions of dollars here. The cost of space travel is high already, ignoring the moon means that there will be no space travel. No man is that rich. |
