I'd visit the near future, close enough that someone might want to talk to Larry Niven and can figure out the language; distant enough to get me decent medical techniques and a ticket to the Moon.

I want to get to the moon. I want to go to Mars.

Going to the moon was a fable. Resetting aging is a fable, but that's what we're setting out to do.

We knew it was going to be difficult to get to the moon. We didn't know how difficult.

Why this is important is because these resources can make future human occupation of the moon much more cost effective. If we can live off the land and use the resources that are available, then it becomes much less expensive.

These resources can make (a) future human return to the moon and future human occupation of the moon much more cost-effective.
