even then you would have to say goodbye to everybody you know because 1 min of warp drive is 100 years on earth for example...and all this just to go somewhere where theres a 99.99999999999% chance you will find rocks and shit...

even if there was gold on the moon it would simply cost too much to bring it back to earth, because you would need to set up a base and extraction facility and this is commercially simply not viable...

maybe a small drone could be made just for explorations sake...but then theres the paradox that we would have to wait 100-s of years for a few minutes to pass...then 1000-s of years for the information to actually come back to us...

its just a huge waste of money...
