I don't think you quite understand the monetary and strategic value involved with controlling the moon.
Comparing it to Antarctica is not even remotely similar.

Currently there's no monetary value as the cost just to get there is astronomical. Multiple trips to set up facilities for living and mining would be another insane cost, and that's not even covering getting materials back nor the health impacts of being in such a low-gravity environment for extended periods.
If we ever develop technology that gets around the need for escape velocity to be ~25,000mph (ie: some form of anti-gravity or gravity interference) and to slow re-entry so as not to not make it so brutal, then it could well indeed become ridiculously economically viable (even if just as a unique vacation hub for the wealthy).

No, I don't understand it. I don't think you do either. It's never happened. I'll stand by my statement, but I could be absolutely wrong.

That's clear.

Oh, but I do. And so does Musk. Hence the IPO that's about to happen for SpaceX. As I said in another post, it requires second and third order thinking.

You are.

God I hope they don’t let the woman pilot fly. Probably a diversity hire.

She won't. They said yesterday she's there to run onboard systems like the life support. And even if she wanted to drive, there's no one around to ask for directions.

Definite DEI hire.

No worries. The pilot will be Sum Ting Wong with co-pilot Wei Tu Lo.

The crew has a more well stocked pantry and is probably eating better than you.
Apparently one popular move is to mix the Mac and cheese and the bbq beef brisket.

I wonder if they are actually going to fix any of the problems.
fricked up heat shield.
Toilet whose prototype sat broken on the ISS for years.
Environmental control issues
Minor communication hiccups.
Not exactly an impressive feat once you take off the red white and blue glasses.

Koch’s experience prior to becoming an Astronaut spanned both space science instrument development and remote scientific field engineering. Her career began as an Electrical Engineer at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) where she contributed to instruments on several NASA space science missions. Koch then became a Research Associate in the United States Antarctic Program which included a yearlong stay with a winter-over at the Admunsen-Scott South Pole Station and season at Palmer Station. While in this role, she served as a member of the Firefighting and Search and Rescue Teams. Koch then returned to space science instrument development as an Electrical Engineer at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory’s Space Department, where she contributed to instruments on missions including Juno and the Van Allen Probes. Koch then returned to remote scientific field work with tours at Palmer Station in Antarctica and Summit Station in Greenland. Next, joining the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, she continued work at remote scientific bases, serving as a Field Engineer in Utqiagvik, Alaska and as Station Chief of the American Samoa Observatory. Throughout her career, she has done technical instructing, volunteer tutoring and educational outreach.
She sounds like she'd be a wildcat between the sheets.

Two questions.
.
Is strawberry/chocolate/vanilla breakfast drink the way to say Nestle Quik without advertising for Nestle?
Will couscous with nuts or granola with blueberries create crumbs that are going to float around the interior?

I wondered that as well.
It seems like some things are dehydrated mush and others is almost like an MRE.
I think it’s probably coated in a thick syrup that holds it together.
