I'm not sure whether your comment is against Moon colonization specifically or more generally against the use of funds for space exploration. In the case of the former I don't know enough about the potential of such a mission to pass judgment on it. In the case of the latter, however, I find that those who oppose space exploration in favor of using the funds for the good of humanity now (feeding staving people, building domestic infrastructure, eliminating innumerable other social ailments) are only shortchanging future generations of our children by guaranteeing their extinction. Very smart people have repeatedly warned us that we cannot remain a single planet species and expect a future. I really can't think of anything more important to spend money on than the only technology that will be able to allow our species to survive.
