I would contented that NASA can't produce anything but flags and footprints.

It's the nature of government funded projects unless they have direct benefits to the public.

This is why the econo-moonbats are trying to sell snake oil which 'will' benefit the public with moonbased SPS power or PGMs for Fuel Cells for that all important Hydrogen Economy for cars without oil.

The problem with all their claims is they are nonsense. Platinum Group Metals are very probably not concentrated on the Moon. NEO are a better location to look. The Oxygen fuel station idea is nonsense as I've pointed out already. I don't see how Space Power Satellites on the Moon is any better an idea than SPS in space...NASA studies have shown them to be a huge waste of money.
