I found Robert Zubrin's case against LOP-G and in favor of a polar Moon base quite compelling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buLzhqgQbpA https://www.youtube.c

I found Robert Zubrin's case against LOP-G and in favor of a polar Moon base quite compelling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buLzhqgQbpA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buLzhqgQbpA We have twenty years of experience with space stations but no experience with an extra-terrestrial base. Yes, Antarctica or Biosphere come close in some ways, and yes there's still plenty to learn from space habitation outside our magnetosphere, but to me that pales in comparison to the skills we'd learn establishing an actual human outpost on another celestial body!
