A moon base could not be truly self sustaining for a long, long time, of ever. Probably never, definitely not within say 500 years.
So if Earth goes, the moon base is definitely gone too. There is no saving humanity without saving Earth.

500 years was just a number I threw out there as “clearly beyond any forseeable time”. It could be 200 years, 1000 years, maybe never. Point is just that it’s completely wrong to think that we just need to land on the moon or on Mars and then we’re an “interplanetary species” and if Earth goes, we have a backup plan.
