I've already pointed out a return to the Moon doesn't need a closed loop life support system any more than ISS does. Non of the things you mention are needed at the Moon. It is not the place to test for Mars. It is a waste of money to do so! You want an incremental program then use Earth, LEO and Mars to test the equipment meant for Mars, the Moon is a side step on the road to spacefaring, unless it has infrastructure without cost!

        So your solution is to fixate on the Moon instead or focus on nothing? - Buster - 1/2/2004 8:45:39 PM
