If we had established the moon's L1 as having accommodated our science
instrument platform as of 4 decades ago, at roughly 1% the investment
of those hocus-pocus NASA/Apollo missions, as such long before now
we'd have the actual heat loss of our own planet and that of our
nearby mascon moon nailed.

As it stands, we don't even have either geothermal worth of
planetology seience on behalf of Earth or that of very our moon to
work with. Isn't that rather pathetic, or what?

Worse yet, we don't own or even so much as dominate our moon's L1.
What are we waiting for? (think China or perhaps India)
