It would be far better to construct and have Stanford Torus-type city-states and custom ring-gravity farming facilitation in L-point orbits than to do anything but have science stations, and mining stations, on the Moon. A big, big, expansive network-quality picture, all told, versus a small, far more entropically orientated and useless to Earth and Mankind, picture. The picture reminds me of 1960s type room and building, and street block, size mainframe computers inaccessible in any way at all to the many, versus 2020s size vast local and wide networks of Personal Colonies, er, Personal Computers so cheap and plentiful that the majority of mankind now has access to them.
