 Political Animal: Comment on Green Cheese
Sure, if you could build a spacecraft on the Moon it'd have an easier time on it reaching Mars than one launched from Earth, but the infrastructure required to construct a spacecraft is so massive as to be unthinkable anywhere but Earth for the time being.
Moon landings should only be justified in their own terms - for instance, it's a perfect place to put really massive optical and radio telescopes (nothing like a big lump of rock to shield them from terrestrial interference).
And Cheney wants the Moon because there is a school of thought at the Pentagon that considers it to be the ultimate high-ground over the Earth from a military perspective.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Whitey on the Moon
If all of these bands combined and broke down their sound to a sort of "indie soul-hop" (Whitey on the Moon's description, not mine), this might be the result.
Making their influences obvious, Whitey on the Moon take their name from a Gil Scott-Heron "song", while Special New Band would seem to be a reference to Pavement's "Cut Your Hair".

 Euro-imperialist aggression against the Moon | World War 4 Report
The controlled crash of the probe was staged to allow a ground-based network of astronomers to possibly examine material kicked up from the Moon by the impact, thereby squeezing additional science out of the mission.
Dust and other material ejected off the Moon were expected to possibly be visible to observers with big telescopes back here on Earth.
Another hole in one, but the poor Moon is going to be on the receiving end of a volley of lunar probes - Japan, India, as well as China, as well as the U.S. -- in the coming years.

 DEPARTMENT OF EAGLES
The name of the "group" at the time was "Whitey on the Moon," and its two members chose the pseudonyms "Iron Chrysalis" and "Butterfly Emerging," all choices based on the assumption that the distribution of the CD would be limited to the 4th floor of an NYU dorm.
For that release, the name was changed to "Whitey on the Moon UK" partially as a joke and partially to avoid conflict with another band that had already laid claim to "Whitey on the Moon." This poor legal reasoning came under fire four years later, when it came time to release a full CD.
The other band, Whitey on the Moon, voiced their understandable objections to "Whitey on the Moon UK." At this point, Fred and Daniel were relatively happy to give it up.

There should also be very nice veins of high-purity iron ore strewn about near the surface, as they once were on earth, since the moon is of roughly the same composition, and so there you can make your steel rebar with a bit of concentrated sunlight for smelting (think ant under magnifying glass, for example).

 Gil Scott-Heron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was assisted by Bob Thiele of Flying Dutchman Records, co-writer Brian Jackson, and jazz musicians Hubert Laws, Bernard Purdie (who later recorded "Delights of the Garden" with The Last Poets), Charlie Saunders, Eddie Knowles, Ron Carter and Bert Jones (see 1970 in music).
The album included aggressive diatribes against white-owned corporate media and middle-class America's ignorance of the problems of inner cities in songs such as "Whitey on the Moon".
His 1971 album Pieces of a Man used more conventional song structures than the loose, spoken-word feel of Small Talk, and he didn't reach the charts until 1975 with the song "Johannesburg".
