#2While I understand their concerns, it seems a bit crazy to think you have any right to tell people what to do or not do on the moon.

#4> locations on the moon where conditions are ideal for the study of the early universe.
Doesn't get me particularly excited personally. Scientists should be aware other people have different interests. I want a futurama lunapark.
In the end, government is going to decide. After some war/conflicts. Just like on Earth.

I too am a libertarian moon-man.

Admittedly, it is a slightly better set of reasons than 'because it is sacred[1]'.

I too dream with being a whaler on the moon.

#10Most of the long term scientific value of the moon sits below the regolith, down to the layers that formed from the collision with earth. There are magnetic features below the surface of the moon that we are very interested in called 'lunar swirls'. We think they are old iron rich magma pipes that have solidified and become magnetic. IM-3 launches in 2025, and has a lander with the Lunar Vertex rover, hopefully this one wont fall over. Its job is to investigate one of these swirls.

Edit: I should point out, If there are lava tubes, it means there are likely caves. Caves can have atmospheres.
