We don't really have a lot of science on low gravity environments.

We know a lot about what happens in 1 g. We're starting to understand a bunch about 0 g. We have almost no information about 1/6th g.

The capitalist notion of making money on the moon is still a pipe dream, but the science we can gain by having a lab there is undeniable.

We can build centrifugal gravity at several scales with far less engineering unknowns and without tethering ourselves to a gravity prison.
