It's a debate that perhaps unexpectedly has found some fire in the last few months with Obama saying we've been there, done that, no point doing it again, etc.
Is a return to the Moon worthwhile?
Personally... I think we have to return to the Moon, we have to establish some long term base up there. We've got a long-term base in LEO, but Deep Space is a much harsher environment and a base on the Moon would allow us the kind of research on the effect of deep space on humans for long periods that we need for a trip to Mars in the future.
Opinions?
