True enough, but I think of "colonizing" a place meaning that a sustainable self-sufficient situation would be happening. I sorta doubt that happening there anytime in my or my kids' lifetimes. I see more of a place where people are stationed before rotating home.
I don't think colonizing the moon is likely to be a thing any time soon. Sustained human presence maybe. But a colony? Why? Pick any remote resource-starved place on Earth that nobody wants to be, and you could create a colony there a lot more easily and cheaply.

Nice writeup, with as a bonus, a cost comparison to SLS at the end.
They are making some progress. They now have a memory dump from the FDS to review:

The camera was on one of the flaps, so when the flap actuated, the perspective changed. To me it appeared the ship was under pretty active control. Maybe not perfect, but the bits worked!
Hee hee. I work remotely but will be on camera and interactive during the meeting. I will have the launch up on another screen. 😃 But can't make my distraction obvious.
