Reply to comment by still-at-work in Artemis is cool, but there really isn't a good reason we're going back to the Moon (or to Mars and beyond). by [deleted]

You can still explore it remotely. And for a fraction of the cost. And with none of the geopolitics associated with human settlement.

You get humans directly involved and then you have to get the military involved and then you get your first space war. And the you get trapped on the surface of the Earth by all the debris created by the first space war.

So honestly, I think some of this stuff is still worth debating.
