I’m sure you all know by now that NASA has decided to build a moon base.

Next on the agenda is the formation of a committee to come up with excuses to build a moon base.
This whole exercise reminds me of when I was 7 and I built a moon base out of legos. It had laser catapults. Yes, LASER CATAPULTS. Having watched cartoons, I believed that lasers were long, glowing objects that were fired from guns in the manner of a conventional bullet. Therefore, I equipped the moon base with catapults with which to launch said lasers against such aliens and bad guys as may attack the moon base, as aliens are wont to do.
The NASA plans may as well have laser catapults, because there is no way this thing is ever ever going to be built. At least my lego base was completed on time and on budget.
