Mankind cannot go into space by itself. Plants and animals that are part of a sustainable biosphere will have to go with us. The key to developing a colony on the Moon, or anywhere else, will be the question of how it can feed itself. Tuber (Yam and Potato) agriculture on the Moon is not just a matter of finding water and building a greenhouse. First you have to create soil, then you have to go at least 10 meters underground to avoid cosmic rays, and still you need solar energy.
