To me is is very ODD that something like this does not already exist right now. This would at LEAST show some kind of dominance in space that is fairly local. You could even refer to that camera on the moon as a small "moon base". To me the subject of the moon is ALWAYS DOWNPLAYED.
How you do DOWN PLAY the moon? The moon is basically the equivalent of another CONTINENT of earth that happens to be IN ORBIT around earth. You would think this would be something you would WANT to visit frequently and build bases, at least place communication equipment there, drop off something that looks like a small mobile home.
2) The movie "MOON" starring Sam Rockwell EXCELLENTLY DEPICTS what kind of moon base could be built there or already is there. Of course, "2001 a space oddessy" also depicts EXCELLENT MODERN interpretations of moon bases, or moon landing possibilities.
3) It is so STRANGE how there is no MODERN DISCUSSION about the moon. Soon 50 freaking years is going to go by and we are STILL going to be looking at all this old grainy footage of astronauts who supposedly walked there but go off into hiding and run out into the streets drunk and depressed with anguish after they get back. They even completely ignored Neil Armstrong when he died. No state funeral. Nothing. STRANGE. If he walked on the moon, he is one of the highest achieving humans to even exist and his death was completely IGNORED. THAT IS STRANGE and makes no SENSE. And i do not CARE how private a person he was.
4) AT LEAST DROP A ROBOT OFF ON THE MOON FOR CHRISTS SAKE. SHOW US SOME NEW close up pictures of the moons surface using 2013 technology.

man don't you read? the aliens told us to stay away the moon, it is theirs, they use it to spy on us and keep us out of intergalactic politics and activities..
jeez..
FWIW, I completely agree with your line of thinking, it makes one think that the Gov't has been hiding something serious about the moon for a long time.
