- rbanffy 17y agoYou can't perfect the manned spaceflight protocols with unmanned probes. The Moon is a stepping stone towards Mars and, if we can mine lunar regolith for metals, water and propellant (LOX, LH2), we are golden: the lunar base can become the best spot for building and launching spacecraft. I wonder if there is carbon and nitrogen there too. That would make colonization much simpler.
