RE: Can we make enough breathable air in our future MARS colony? - Colonization of MARS Series
As the moon is very close to Earth and minerals there can't help us build or fuel rockets, there is little the moon can do except for providing a low gravity test environment. We should have a base there, but the research options are limited.
Yeah, a launchpad on the Moon doesn't really make sense since it takes less energy to just send a rocket straight to Mars, than sending everything to the Moon first and then launching it. Only if we need serious ∆v but even then we can just send a rocket to orbit, refuel it in orbit and launch it where ever we need to.
