    Lets just stay off the moon?

    It’s in everybody’s backyard and they want to build shit on it.

      You can’t see any of mankind’s influence on Earth from the moon. Why would the obverse be true?

        Can you imagine possibilities forward in time? That’s what I mean.

          Out of curiosity, why?

          I kind of view it kind of like Antarctica, where it’s a little interesting as a park or preserve and there’s research to be done that justifies sending some robots and people, then at some point a handful of tourists will visit it. It doesn’t seem like it’s worth trying to protect from resource prospectors who want to try make a claim, though. I’m on board with protecting moons like Io and Europa until we can do more research, though.
