Lunar Return

[Rynn]

I'm not sure we have a reason to go there, beyond scientific discovery (which increasingly probes are getting better at, and are cheaper) there's no real return we can get from the moon. Don't get me wrong I'm not one of those people who has to see profit before he advocates something (not at all!) but manned moon missions are so expensive it's hard not to think "is it worth it?"

I can't really see us seriously going back unless the technology to do it a lot cheaper is developed. Which it very well could be (reusable rockets, automation in general etc) but I'm not counting on it.
