There -are- realistic moon base plans

I was wrong. Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.

I lamented the lack of moon base plans recently, but it was an error of not looking around enough.

Recently the European Space Agency got a new director, Johann-Dietrich Woerner, starting July 1.

But even before he started, he had stated his plans for what to do next on the way to other space plans

"the moon station can be an important stepping stone for any further exploration in deep space,"

He states this in the context of ESA's targets after the ISS project finishes.

"In any case, the space community should rapidly discuss post-ISS proposals inside and with the general public, to be prepared," 

I can't tell yet how these plans relate to NASA's stated plans for manned mission to Mars.
