Moon

Should the international community unite to develop a lunar scientific base?

No , because you would , like so many other world organizations , have certain countries paying the bill while other countries latch on for free and try to run the show .

What if, it would work on the basis of a annual fee that would be paid upfront at the beginning of the year and only countries having paid their dues would be allowed to participate?

unfortunately, you do have a point...

So then, should we encourage businesses to do it?

Hemi stop being so pessimistic. Think of all the possibilities that a base on the moon could have. Great scientific breakthroughs, discoveries that could change what we know about ourselves as a species. Then for it all to be denied by idiots who still think the earth is flat and "god did it" nutjobs.
