    The technologies we invent along the way are worth the investment, in my opinion. Look at everything that came out of the original space race.

      Nah. If we go back to the Moon, we are going to need more than “new technologies”, but an actual purpose.

      Right now, Helium-3, rare earth metals, and a slingshot to the rest of the solar system are good reasons to colonize the Moon if we can figure out how to do it cheaply.
