Default Bob Zubrin on using Starships to/on the Moon - aka "Moon Direct"

Bob Zubrin has weighed in on the idea of using Starships as both lunar
orbiting refueling stations for lunar landers as well as one-way landers
for building permanent lunar bases on the moon.

Turns out the gateway isn't necessarily the best way to go if you have
Starships that can maneuver into lower lunar orbits including polar orbits.
