Interesting session at the Improving Space Ops Workshop in Pasadena. Heard a talk on long-lived stable lunar orbits with max eclipse time of four hours. Now listening to a proposed cubesat mission to map hydrogen at the lunar poles.

Sounds good. The cheaper it gets the most likely it will be done eventually.
Just Apollo 11 was $355m in 1969 dollars.
Must will do it for about $200m in today’s dollars.
Four decades would make 355 what? About $5b today?
Musk, not must.
$2.3 billion using a standard CPI inflation calculator. Aerospace inflation infamously runs ahead of that, so, yeah, $4 or $5 billion is not implausible.
Note the title of this post. Operations, not colony. I agree.
