Make the Moon Great Again

(Inspired by comments in another thread)
In my current campaign Luna had several pretty decent sites. One site with water, two with organics, and several with good fissiles (5+).
I was tempted to setup at least two Luna bases, but eventually did one. I got just enough metal, rares and fissiles to make establishing five Mars bases relatively cheap. Pretty much only had to pay boost for the water.
My Mars bases also had good fissiles (10 to 20), and usually Fissiles is the only reason for maintaining a Luna base. So once my Mars bases were established I dropped my Luna base.
While you can build hospitals and resorts on Luna you might as well build them in Earth Orbit. So unless you are cramped for Fissiles, there is no reason to do a Luna base, which is slightly disappointing.
Would be nice to see a required role for Luna throughout the game, be it a logistics hub, a manufacfuring centre for Earth, an astronomical observatory or a mission control centre. As it stands, it can be ignored most games.
