Agreed on the hope that the new cold war spurs more scientific achievements (just hopefully fewer Manhattan Projects).
However, I don't grok the point of human-staffed moonbases. I'm just a casual layman, but asteroid mining's the only thing I know of with a clear ROI in space. Or is the idea a moonbase would be like the ISS/Antarctica, an international scientific outpost?
