#ColonizeTheMoon

Moon. It's closer, easier to get to, and overall logistics are simpler. The only major issues are the month long day cycles, lack of large water reserves, low gravity may be a health concern, no terraforming potential. The day/night and water issues can be compensated by living at the poles. The low gravity issue can be worked around through orbital suburbs or lunar centrifuges. Finally, terraforming is so far into the future that the potential to terraform really shouldn't be weighed as heavily as other factors.

>A full Earth is coming. Watch out for the crazies.

Honestly both are really good, it's not really an "or" question rather it's something we would do at the same time.
But the really neat thing about the moon is it's closeness, remember with these mass drivers you can easily shoot material to Mars, Venus or any other object.
