So, I want to know why we don't do anymore missions to the moon? I know that there is no much to explore ...
... but don't you guys think that will be a good idea building a station or maybe a colony on moon? So that we might advance to the space exploration?
PS: I'm Brazilian, so sorry if my english is not that well
Our best hope appears to be private companies - but so far none of them have announced a launch date.
We keep hoping, though, don't we? (well, I do ... )

First of all thank to all to reply and second, I'am thinking about human “living” in the moon just like mars, they will have to stay a number of days and switch with others to continue exploring, the construction maybe will maid by robots and the station will not be to big, so you think that this is possible?

[On Earth, people use about 100 gallons of water per day- for drinking and cleaning.And in terms of making food- food is mostly water, and requires a lot water to make food.Water on Earth is very cheap- it falls from the sky. A large rain storm may drop a billion tonnes of water.And there are rivers of it. And water can got from the ground by digging a well. To live humans need waterand a lot of it.
In order to manufacture computer chips you need vacuum, silicon, and rare earths.
I see the moon as a mining colony only, mostly making lox out of the soil, not water, since water is rare on the moon.
Probably the most overlooked export product from the Moon is computer chips. In order to manufacture computer chips you need vacuum, silicon, and rare earths.
Transferring this off Earth would meet a favorable investor climate.
