I dunno, how many breasts does she have?

Put all the current Shuttle and ISS money into propultion research, restart manned space flight when we have better faster engines.

and more efficient engines. I think all manned spaceflight is stupid. Scrap the whole program.

a more mundane application would be retirement communities, where the low-G environment would let people remain mobile much longer.

How do you keep the flying rocks off your moonbase roof?

Indeed, a Ben Bova novel I just recently read involved a 70 year old rich guy moving permanently onto a space station because it allowed him to use his joints and such again without pain

Now, the big concern would be radiation ... they'd have to have really GOOD domes and such to protect from the various radiations that the Moon doesn't protect from that the Earth does. Otherwise you'd have a few months of really good activity followed by a few months of chemo and then death ...

lets not forget the moon is moving away from the Earth at the rate of 1 1/2 inches a year

Who remembers "Space 1999"

Oooh they'll get to watch as mankind goes to sh*it due to a virus or something. No apocalypse story is complete without a moonbase .

Ben Bova . The sci-fi isn't completely solid but I still found his Moon books to be pretty good reads. He's good at capturing the ugly side of humanity too.
