.Net Rocks podcast did a fantastic episode (A Geek Out episode) recently on why we should consider building moon bases - https://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?ShowNum=1424 https://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?ShowNum=1424. TL;DR Version (From show notes): We have not explored much of the moon at all, we can extract fuel and manufacture things on the moon, we need to understand how humans function long term in low gravity (rather than freefall), and finally, there are some unique science opportunities on the moon.
