The only reason it would make sense to return to the moon is to establish a base for exploration of Mars. I go really back and forth on space exploration. On one hand it is a giant money pit. On another, the research that has come out of space exploration has been beneficial to life here on earth.

the research that has come out of space exploration has been beneficial to life here on earth.

But space is 100% innocent.

It was just a huge pile of money spent on research and development.

Yeah and we only spend massive piles of cash on war and space exploration. Both have resulted in technology advantages but I prefer space exploration.
