We could send Lil shuttles or space plane type things to the moon eventually, that would carry people back and forth, but the space ships for deep exploration should launch from the moon.
Looks like this fuck head won't be working for nasa anytime soon

What did I say that would cause you to say that?
Which space agency do you work for?

Where would the fuel for these moon-based launches come from though?

i'm also pretty sure welding torches need oxygen/air

Its impractical now though, and space programs have pitiful budgets so civilization may well collapse first

The oil was sarcasm, the rest is true and you'd be a fool not to know it

I'm thinking anything mined on Mars would have to be very valuable to be worth shipping back here, even with much better methods than our current ones.
I kind of like the idea of a "space elevator" for getting things into orbit without having to fight atmospheric drag with extreme speeds. It would be a bitch to set up though.

How do they attach new pieces of the international space station with out oxygen?
As for fuel. Instead of a space elevator, I suggest a space pipeline. Almost same concept except people it pumps fuels up to a space station to be shipped to the moon.

pumping fuel that far/high through those pressure changes would require enormous amounts of energy; not to mention asteroids and other potentially damaging space debris

I'm confident people will figure it out. We've been to the moon before, we will populate the solar system.

keep dreaming, especially since most planets in this solar system are inhabitable despite terraforming/biosphereing as well as the distance to get there and also send materials.
unless we get that darn 'scuttler doorway workin, that is
