Any sort of non-toy moon colony is simply a toy for (super) rich
It is probably cheaper and safer to repopulate 100K back to Chernobyl/Fukushima than it will ever be to put 1000 on the moon.
It is cheaper to encourage systematic recycling (including subsidies, research, regulation and tax) than it is to mine anything in space.
It is cheaper and more effective to start an extinction level protection program here on earth (to save say 100K people) than it will ever be to build a true independent space colony.
Sure - it has scientific value and its progress, and its a stepping stone to Mars, etc.
But economically this is the equivalent of buying a Ferrari while you still have student debt.
