Actually we could start building it as soon as the Falcon Heavy becomes 
operational:

NASA scientists say we could colonise the Moon by 2022... for just $10 
billion.
What are we waiting for?
http://www.sciencealert.com/nasa-scientists-say-we-could-colonise-the-moon-by-2022-for-just-10-billion

SpaceX designed the Dragon V2 to be able to do Moon missions so don't need 
the expensive Orion capsule.
And the Falcon Heavy especially with Merlin upgrades can do 100+ tons to LEO 
in two launches, sufficient for a manned
lunar flight, so we don't need the expensive SLS.

An unmanned test flight could even be done to test the capabilities of the 
Falcon Heavy on its first test flight, this or next
year.

Falcon Heavy to the Moon!

$10 billion without a better purpose?

Some rational reason to "colonise" the moon, which will never happen
as no Moon colony could ever be self supporting.

Some might argue that blowing up shit in the Middle East is not a 
better purpose.  A more pointed question would be whether or not that 
budget and timeline is actually accurate, or if it won’t be more like 
$200 billion spent and a wait until 2035.

History has shown a pretty big halo effect for such projects, so I 
would expect quite a bit of indirect economic value in new Moon and 
Mars missions.  But I would agree that NASA would do well to make a 
more direct case for why a Moon colony would be a valuable resource 
to have.

All historical colonizations have been to places with air, water, and
growing things where one could be dropped nude and survive.

Survival on the Moon or Mars for more than a few minutes requires state
of the art technology and constant resupply.

The closest thing in history is Antarctica, where there are no colonies
but only research stations.

I'm all for sending swarms of robots throughout the solar system, but
sending people is a waste of resources.

I heard that the Canadians once tried to establish a self-sustaining colony of Eskimos in Antarctica.  The experiment failed!

There are no colonies due to treaties.  Note that the same situation

Then sending robots is a waste of resources, too.  If people aren't

Iceland? Greenland? Northern Newfundland?

Hell, for much of Europe surviving after being dropped nude in the 
Winter is not likely.

If the Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth bare assed in the Winter 
they would probably not have survived long.

You might want to amend your statement about all historical 
colonies.

OK, dropped in with nothing more than a heavy winter coat.

No successful colony in history required anything beyond 10th Century
technology to survive.

Colonies with insufficient support from 'back home' tended to
disappear.  You talk like all colonization attempts are easily
successful.  There are enough failed colonies to prove that to be
bullshit.

Bullshit.  Lots of colonies in the New World succeeded only by the
skin of their teeth and lots of them failed and they all had the best
technology available at the time.

Silly boy.

The moon and mar have resource that can produce air, water, and thus
food.  Nothing between your ears but hard vacuum.

Both the moon and Mars have water.  Mars has a very thin atmosphere of 
CO2.  Other chemicals, such as oxygen on the moon, can be extracted from 
the local "soil".  No, there are no animals or plants to eat, but the 
raw materials are definitely there to make them.

There are no raw materials off the Earth to make Jello.

Sure you can theoretically do all that, all it takes is very large, very
sophisticated, very heavy, very expensive, and very expensive to transport
equipment along with a very expensive power system to make it all work.

The key here is the horrendous cost of getting things to the Moon or Mars
in the first place and that any equipment used there will likely be a
one off custom design that will come at another huge expense.

take O2, how do you extract that from rocks ?  What is needed rate of 
production? What does it take ? how much does the O2 plant weigh ?

now, where do you get the N2 ?  not from rocks...

what is the rate of water you can get from the vaccuum of moon/mars 
surface ?   100 grams per day ?

no answer ?    try to think it through.

          man needs 500 liters of O2 per day
	there are 10 men up there, 2 are needed to run the O2 plant, and 2 are 
needed to run the Water plant, and 2 are needed to run the N2 plant.

so your O2 flow rate is 5,000 liters per day,
your N2 flow rate is 15,000 liters per day (assume a 25% O2)
and about 7.5 liters of water per day per person

so how many tons rocks do you cook per day ?
How much energy is needed to run the rock cooking plant?
What type of rocks work for O2 that are on the surface ?

where do you get  24 liters of water per day ? (assume a 25% recapture rate)

Biofilm questions: where does the lost water go? will the biofilm cause 
dammage to the electronics?  How much energy is used to keep the 
Humidity down to below 70% ?

how do you reprocess the salt bath used for cooking the rocks ?

What rocks do you cook to get N2 ???

you cannot find any common rocks with N in them, right ?

you have not thought this through have you?

go look on the NASA site, you wont see answers to the hard problems 
either, although there are lots of studies on these issues.

Radiation! requires men on either moon or mars to live below ground 20 
feet, and only go to surface 5% of the time.  95% of the time they must 
be in the underground shelter, large tin can, to keep the radiation from 
making them all go blind.

Figure it out.  A person needs less than a kilogram of oxygen per day.
Lunar rocks are typically about 40% oxygen by weight.  So given your
specified crew size (which you didn't bother with before when you
asked the question) you need to cook about .01 tons of rock per day.

What does it matter?  You have shitloads available from the Sun.

Almost any of them.  Lunar rock is largely oxides of various types.

Why is the recapture rate so low?  Why does your math not work out?
Your earlier claim was 10 people times 7.5 liters per day (which is
high, by the way) which gives a 75 liter per day requirement with 25%
recapture (around 19 liters) which leaves a 56 liter per day
requirement.  Now that's down to 24 liters for some reason.  It's
simple arithmetic, dude.  Keep it straight.

There are several thousand ppm water in typical lunar rock, but you
don't need to mess with that.  You get the water from ice deposits. At
the rate you're talking there's plenty.

Never heard of a dehumidifier?  They're all the rage here on Earth.
Again, how much power doesn't matter because there is shitloads lying
around for free.

Any of them.  Content is fairly low (on the order of 10 ppm).

Nitrogen isn't consumed the way oxygen is, so you don't need to
produce it at the rates you claim.  In fact, your whole atmospheric
calculation is wonky.

Jesus, but you're a stupid troll.  Perhaps you should pull your head
out of the Chimp's ass?  I assume it's up his, because you don't seem
able to find your own ass with both hands.

I never said anything like that.

However, support from 'back home' wasn't oxygen, food, water, and
repair parts for high tech equipment.

For the most part it was luxury items such as good china before such
manufacturing could be established in the colonies.

In return the colonies, depending on where they were, sent back things
like spices, precious metals, furs, and timber.

There is nothing off the Earth so valuable it would be worth the
shipping cost in fuel to send it back to Earth.

And that technology, except for a very few things like muskets, dates
back to at least the 10th Century.

And, BTW, the indigious populations where most colonies where established
were surviving just fine on Stone Age technology long before the Europeans
appeared.

Some experiments suggest we might be able to grow food on Mars if we add the 
organics commonly found in Earth soils:

Scientists just grew vegetables in ‘Martian’ soil — but there’s a catch.
By Rachel Feltman March 9
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2016/03/09/scientists-just-grew-vegetables-in-martian-soil-but-theres-a-catch/

  But Mars Curiosity, finally, has shown Mars soils do contain organics. 
Then we may be able to produce the needed organics from those already there.

And nitrogen for the air, nitrates for the soil and water and put them
under a heated pressure dome.

As long as they are plants that don't require a lot of sunlight, in which
case you have to add grow lights.

Don't forget the pumps to keep the dome pressurized and the huge power
source for the pumps and possible grow lights.

Of course, you will need most of that stuff anyway, except for the nitrogen
and nitrates, to keep humans alive.
