Report says scientists say we must return to the moon. Why?
I'm not opposed to space exploration and was a fan of Gerard O'Neill's idea of cities in space. I know that space exploration has given tremendous strength to technological development that have radically improved our lives. A late-uncle who had a machine shop that worked with the Apollo program said the biggest technology improvements in machining at that time came because of auto racing and NASA. Electronics, meanwhile, have soared on technology advances begun for space. Even medicine has had quantum-leap moments in part spurred by NASA needing to understand the humans they send up.
But why MUST we return to the moon?
