Huh?
"Are we supposed to ignore astrophysics because a fighter pilot or biochemist feels safer going to the Moon first?
Why don't we discuss the technical details instead of relying on adhoc opinions?"
So are you saying that astrophysicists have some unique insight into our next destination that the rest of us scaredy cats don't get?
There are any number of fantastic reasons to go to the Moon, both technical and other. Which have been discussed ad nauseum here and elsewhere.
