The Moonbase

I doubt this will get too far, sounds expensive and more than a little bit vague. For example

''to extend human presence to the Moon to enable eventual settlement.''

''to expand Earth's economic sphere, and conduct lunar activities with benefits to life on the home planet.''

''to use a vibrant space exploration program to engage the public, encourage students and help develop the high-tech workforce that will be required to address the challenges of tomorrow.''

That last one is meaningless PR speak. NASA will never get enough funding to do it, and anyway it could be better spent on other scientific projects, probes and the like.
