Will men return to the moon?

There could be gold deposits on the moon and it wouldn’t be economical to go get them.

The reality is that there is not any economical benefits for sending man to the moon or Mars.

It is just a good photo-op

Dropping you off would be well worth the expense

No, the moon.

There might possibly be water there, in only one particular location. Water is extremely expensive to take into space due to its weight.

It is currently used for fuel, and many other operations. It is vital. The folks that claim the possible moon water will dominate space for the next century.

". . . . China has repeatedly said that the hunt for ice will be the Chang’e-7 mission’s top priority. It is among a series of increasingly complex lunar exploration missions aimed at testing key technologies and paving the way for a research base near the moon’s south pole by around 2035.. . "

Leaked documents reveal INSANE DEI plan for NASA | Blaze Media

From reckless spending and warmongering to importing illegal immigrants and carving children up in labs, calling it “care,” it’s hard to say which part of living under the Biden-Harris regime was the worst. The insidious cancer that is diversity, equity, and inclusion certainly makes the top...

Essentially, man first walked on the moon because of political reasons, and not really scientific ones. Simply put, those scientists getting the US to the moon were all pawns in the Cold War against the Soviets to beat the Soviets to the moon. It was all for propaganda purposes, something the US wanted badly since the Soviets beat the US into space.

But today, is there still enough political motivation to pay scientists to return to the moon? Apparently there is.

Sources within NASA have leaked a plan for the US to return to the moon, not to beat the Russians this time, but to put the first black woman on the moon, all to appease the DEI, PC crowd, ideology that the US is now shoving down the throats of every country in the world, as we see with the money flowing from USAID.

Who knows, but Alice Kramden might. TO THE MOON ALICE. (Ralph Kramden the Honeymooners) that was tooooo tempting to pass up.
