But it does not feel like it is important. For me it's like solving problems of 10th urgency insead of the most important ones.

Most of Earth problems have very little to do with technology and a lot to do with political and economical systems. And even it we had a Zeus program going straight to Jupiter would make noe difference.
No, we need different system. We already have enough resources to provide every human being on Earth with decent life. With late capitalism whole universe would not be enough, because its greed is insatiable. So, we'll add exploitation of Moon to exploitation of Earth.
That would be givin a lifeline to an already unsustainable and destructive system.
So basically it gives life aid to capitalism and will let us destroy planet some more. Even worse.
We have so much problems down here on Earth that Artemis seems like a smokescreen. I see no way it could benefit humanity.
We, the West, wilk be three too. Degrowth wilk happen, the questions is, nie voluntary it will be.
In today's climate I would rather fear militarization of Moon. i also remember that as a kid I have heard that we were to have first Moon base about 25 years ago. The older I get, the more favourably I think about degrowth, so I am rather for utilizing present resources, instead of expanding the pool, because that would only expand expoitation.
