NASA has an “Artemis mission” planned. The goal is to establish a permanent moon base. But I don’t see what we can do there that we can’t do with robots. We’d have to provide space for people to live, and food, and water, and all that stuff. Not even mentioning 1/6 gravity isn’t exactly healthy.

I’d rather we just send robots to the moon and do what we need to do there until we can easily build huge habitats for people.

    There is one thing that robots can’t do in full: test how humans can live outside the Earth.
