Ineffective? Are you aware of how much potential a moon base would have for the advancement of science and for the advancement of space colonization?

If we intend to move deeper and deeper and explore the solar system (let alone the galaxy), then we're going to have to start somewhere, and the first step is establishing a base out there on a place other than Earth. The moon, being the closest thing to us, is the first logical place to start.
