You have probably heard about the rocket they want to send to the moon. It is apparently a test run to do such a mission with humans. To land on the moon. From what I hear, they would like to set up a permanent base there. For what. There isn't anything on the moon that's worth having. Because it's radioactive as hell. Also, obviously from having evolved on Earth, neither humans or any other Earth creature will thrive in the moons low gravity.
Even worse, they say that they want to use the moon as a stepping stone to Mars. They also want to set up a permanent base there. In that regard, they're being Elon Musk stupid. No creature that evolved on Earth will thrive in Mars low gravity either. And again, there isn't anything on Mars worth having. I can see having bases on both the moon and Mars for people to temporarily stay at to do research. Just as they do in the space station. But to attempt to live there long term is about the most moronic thing I've ever heard. The very worst place on Earth is FAR better than anyplace else in the solar system. And the very worst place on earth is FAR easier and cheaper to get to. Not only that, there is air to breathe!
