Sounds to me like it's about time we build an observatory on the moon.

I hear you, but let me propose: prison on the moon, and we send Elon there.

And then we have an Australia situation

I'm okay with the Moon eventually becoming a good place to visit maybe after several several generations -- hopefully this time with less of a chance to displace native populations. It's only slightly more hostile to human life than Australia after all.
