By 2007? Does anyone here really think this is going to be listened to?

Sad thing is, in 10 years time people will complain about "whacky"
Scientists "predicting" a moon base back in good old '01.

In the meantime, what would be the pros and cons of a Lunar as opposed to a
Martian base? Luna would be nearer, but wouldn't Martian gravity be
better? Would we be in a situation of having to "justify" a Lunar base
like needs to be done for ISS?
