Why is NASA wasting billions of dollars on building a stupid space station orbiting the Moon instead of just building a base on the moon first?
Is this just a giant money pit that will never happen?

It may be the case that a base in orbit is more useful than a base on the surface, and not so much more expensive that it isn't worth it.

More fuel efficient to have an orbiting station, and then just doing landings whenever you gotta do something on the surface.
