The moon can wait. - https://medium.com/iipp-blog/a-moon-mission-for-the-21st-century-57c091283f76
@limits2growth I don't know. I feel like a permanent presence on the moon would lead to huge advances in recycling, air cleaning, carbon fixing, and sustainable living technology. I'm not sure if that mission is that kind of long term test, but there we are.
