It will be quite a while before any human gets near the moon again. By that time the robots could be ready. Right now the money isn't worth much. May as well use it to do something useful. And, dare I say it, off planet mining can be very useful.

Shitshitshit!
...nobody is stopping private industry from competing.
Look here. Bet you'll find something.
Jeeze! Google knows everything. Why can't it build the landing site? Just make it think it's building data center.
Humans can do it now. Robots cannot.
