We should be busting arse to colonize the Moon.

It's got a shitton of frozen water under its surface. No cloud cover which means you could set up solar arrays for all the power the colony would need (even if you built the colony itself on the dark side, you could put the arrays on the sunny side).

It's close and easily reachable if something goes wrong.

Why? It sounds cool but when it costs thousands of dollars per kg to get anything there what is it we are trying to achieve? I love space exploration. Love it. But in 2018 with the advances in computers and robotics and the limitations and expense of current propulsion tech the only realistic position to take is that unmanned should be our focus and is where the true space exploration is being done.
