The question is, with today's tech, why aren't we colonizing the moon and moning the asteroids?

In my view, the amounts are quite believable and reasonable, and there are very few things that are more important, in my view, than space exploration and colonization. It is the long term future of the human race.

The Moon's not hard to find.
Once you're above the atmosphere, it's dazzling. You can't miss it.
And landing on the Moon isn't hard to work out. There's no weather to blow you off course.
The big mystery, is why nobody's been back.
