A somewhat costly state-of-the-art manned outpost of considerable size
should be established on the Moon. Not only should it be designed for
scientific
research, but also as a tourist destination. Money to support this endeavor
would come from taxes & private capital, and/or tourism.
Based on the current mode of
technology, it's impractical or unwise to invest in any thing more than the
current various probes in orbit and/or exploring the terrain their. The Moon
would present more than enough of a challenge for establishing presence
their, and at the same time provide us with a great deal of data for future
endeavors.
