A moon landing in 2024? NASA says it'll happen
We&#x2F;our government is completely unwilling to invest the multi-trillion dollar expense of creating a permanent moon colony. In light of that, I believe arguments to the effect of &quot;a moon base would make Mars easier&quot; are baseless since creating that type of installation on the moon would dwarf the cost of a single shot to Mars and back. In light of that, our current moon efforts are nothing but make-work doing things we&#x27;ve already done because Mars is actually hard.
