The moon is easier to get to then mars or an asteroid. Its also safer since the moon is closer to earth and can get help more quickly. As we speak we have launched a probe to the dark side and one of the moon's poles to search for ice. With ice we can drink it, convert it to oxygen and hydrogen to breathe, grow plants among other things that I can't think of right now. Also we can study the moon to prepare us for living on mars and explore more deep into space.
