Like
any frontier venture (or climbing very tall mountains) it can be
useful to cache supplies at distant places. N.A.S.A. could view the
moon base as a climber’s hut to start with and send building
modules, tools and supplies up on cheap as possible rockets now and
then.
Over
time the more supplies one has to work with the greater are the
options and support for a variety of activities. Even the ISS could
become a parts warehouse for a moon base.
Instead
of sending old satellites to burn up in the Earth atmosphere there
should be a way to send the metal to the moon base. Even good
engineers need parts to innovate things.
N.A.S.A.
should really get started even in a small way instead of waiting for
the grand design to emerge during the middle of the next
administration. N.A.S.A. moon base efforts to help reinforce private lunar efforts and catalyze progress.
