I like the idea of a lunar gateway. I don't know what the point is on going to the moon unless we're setting up infrastructure to go further. Or looking at something more then just some people to land and walk around.
I think that the space program really needs to go beyond orbital space stations or returning to the moon or firing probes out. One of the big things about the space race was it inspired people and for a brief period expanded man's horizons. Its really time to do it again.
"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard"
We should be building that laser focus to go beyond the moon.
Its time.
