is going to the moon a good idea?

it will cost billions of tax dollars, might not even work, and surely the moon is something best left alone

Expansion and exploration has always been this way. When the colonists came to America many died on the voyage. More died trying to make settlements in the new world. Some plants, animals, natives, disease and weather killed some more again. But we persevered. We didn't give up as a people. We will continue into space taking baby steps. Yes, some will die. Then we will try again and again and again. Slowly we will explore then colonize space just like we did in America during it's infancy. We never quite moving forward.
We have no idea what the earth and some other planets will be like in 500 years. I believe then, much like now, we will push further into the unknown. Many mistakes will be made and many will die during our expansion and exploration but still, much like now, we will persevere and we will not quit!

@itsoeasy NASA is launching the most powerful rocket they've ever built this weekend, to circle the moon many times (I don't remember how long it will circle the moon). For some reason there is a renewed interest in the moon. I don't see why and the gov. is not disclosing why. Maybe they know something we don't.
I don't see them spending this much time and money to circle the moon again just for the hell of it. They must have a good reason to do this and I would like to know what it is.
