In my mind, this is a huge waste of effort. Put a base on Mars instead of the Moon -- there's huge science finds waiting there to be discovered; a whole new ecosystem that we've barely touched. The Moon won't be a stepping stone for Mars, it will cost nearly the same to get there as Mars, and we've already been, why go back?
But the tech looks cool.
