Why not robots?

Sun., March 15, 2020

Why in the world are we spending money to return to the dead planet called the moon? Just because we can? What is going to be achieved? Perhaps this is not the time to spend this money.

How about putting some robot visitors there instead? They have done pretty well on Mars and also passing by the outer planets.
