I beg to disagree on all counts:
A lunar base ist vital for #Elmos planned colonization of #Mars.
#Recently, there have been several endavors, to establish basis on the far side of the #Moon.
Agreed, real use of #NuclearFusion has always been "always around the corner" for several decades. Just like #AI. Last year, there was a big break through re/ energy produced. 50 years is a very long time.
#AGI will happen first, within this decades. IMO, the next evolutionary step hinges...
