Ah the famous moon landing in 1969.  Since that time, (now a controversial topic depending on what you google), scientists and science fiction fans have discussed colonizing the moon.  And now they think the costs would be much less than originally estimated:

Returning humans to the moon could cost 90 percent less than expected, bringing estimated costs down from $100 billion to $10 billion. That’s something that NASA could afford on its current deep space human spaceflight budget.

“A factor of ten reduction in cost changes everything,” said Mark Hopkins, executive committee chair of the National Space Society, in a press release.

Wow that’s great let’s get to it!
