Bezos pointed out that the moon is conveniently located, reachable in just a couple of days with the right rocket. Scientists have determined that it has deposits of water ice near the poles that could be converted into drinkable water, breathable air and propellants for refuelable rockets.
If this is true, it seems the moon has a lot going for it which is quite surprising given Elon has been so bullish on Mars. Can someone explain what advantage colonizing Mars has compared to Moon?
