A Water supply to sustain human life. Why is a moon base needed?
We have much to learn from the space station more research is needed in a weightless environment. Or ability to launch space craft is incompatible with the frail human body. We need more research. What is the current record for time a human has been in space? I am not against manned missions but we are decades (if ever) away from solving the real problems of human survival in space. Lets answer those questions first, we are simply putting the cart before the horse. The mistake was not replacing the shuttle with something that could get astronauts to ISS and that was decided long before Obama. And what's beyond our capability about a moon base? I'm sure if one were
on the "far" side, so much electromagnetic radiation from Earth would be blocked that it would be an ideal place for a gigantic radio telescope. And an optical telescope observatory would be many, many times as valuable as any orbiting observatory. Thanks, Joe

You're a victim of short-term thinking. We need to start thinking like some cultures, where public projects have hundred-year goals.
It's instant gratification that's dead, not human spaceflight. It's only begun. Tell me it's dead in 500 years. I think you'll be surprised.
