The only reason it would make sense to return to the moon is to establish a base for exploration of Mars. I go really back and forth on space exploration. On one hand it is a giant money pit. On another, the research that has come out of space exploration has been beneficial to life here on earth.

The technologies we invent along the way are worth the investment, in my opinion. Look at everything that came out of the original space race.
