I'm a mars maniac. That's my focus. But I do think there is something we should do on the moon now.
We should send lots of small rovers with tiny multi-megapixel cameras and let anybody on the web control them. The result gets stitched together into a map. Interesting spots can be inspected with more capable rovers. This would provide valuable information while getting the public excited.
We could stop guessing what's there and let average people find out.
The pitfall would be falling into pits. When they lose solar power they should backtrack a little on batteries, then wait for the sun to become active again. Dangerous spots would be known to all the rovers (or just the application that controls them.)
