What To Do on the Moon

There seem to be only two places of any use outside of
Earth but within the Solar system.

The moon is one. The moon's far side is where we should put the telescopes. Who needs Hubble when you can build super interferometers on farside? Eventually we should be able to read license plate numbers in cars on extra-solar planets.

The other place is Mars. At some stage Mars could be used as a jump off point for mining the asteroid belt.

Any other place in the solar system should be privately funded by whatever fun seekers who want to go to Jupiter or Saturn or the outer planets.

As for the stars, forget it.
