Is it even feasible to transfer large amount of materials from ground into orbit into space, back into orbit, and back onto the ground? it would seem like the more stuff you carry the more fuel you need, and fuel is quite expensive. | ||

Yep Mars more so for sure, as far as the moon it still might be a long-term profitable area for mineral mining and water but the short term risks are a huge deterrent for the private sector right now. As also noted by Stealth the bigger point IMO is to wet our feet in general colonization and as a intermediary stop for Mars. In another words this is something that just needs to be done if we still want to be a space leader it not then other countries will glady take the role. http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/01/26/is_there_anything_we_need_on_the_moon | ||

I did see a documentary about how there's a lot of a specific material on the moon that is suited for fusion power plants (theoretically). Could be a gold mine. :=) | ||
