still seems like we could improve the technology and have a jump start given getting rovers to the moon is a couple of orders of magnitude easier than getting humans there. We could have them be doing something. anything. to prep an area for something like ten years now since we had the whole back to the moon thing. Would have been even better if we had been doing it ever since we got to the moon especially since the tech would be more advanced from trying.

How? Nasa has been building rovers for 20 years. I think they know what they are doing. If they could make what you propose, they would already have.

getting rovers to the moon is a couple of orders of magnitude easier than getting humans there.

And completely useless for the mission of human habitation.

The how is they would have been working on it. If its not in the plan they can't make what is proposed because they are not trying to. I just disagree that it would be completely useless.
