What I really would like to see on the Moon: more investigation about peaks of eternal light[1]. These are points close to the poles of a body which receive sunlight (almost) continuously. On the Moon, if there is an area with a few peaks which are illuminated for long enough and with icy water close by; it is possible to store energy in the form hydrogen and use it for the periods without light.
That could enable permanent settlements on the Moon.
