What We Need Now Is The Follow On, Much Larger, Earth To Moon Transfer Station

A station that would also, most likely, be at a considerably higher orbit. The one that would marshall all of the "one launch pod per hour, twenty four, seven, output that my Hypertube, suspended, underwater, launch system would allow us to not only build the transfer station, and maintain it, but also then forward the beginning supply stream that will make the first of many City Habitats on the moon possible.  And the thing is, we must have faith in the idea that, if we change our economic dynamic, we can approach this necessity as managing the effort it will take to do, as opposed to the more abstract idea that it is all just cost, out of someone's pocket, paying another for profit contractor to do what we all must be involved in; directly, or indirectly, because that will be one of the key components that will decide if we can keep this planet livable, or not.

This also seems very straightforward to me. You do this or not only do and yours perish, the rest of billions of years of evolution perish with you. Absolutely unacceptable, in my book, but that's just another one of my biases I guess.

The ISS was never supposed to end like this
