Helium, which is literally one of the most rare/hardest materials to gather on earth, is in 'abundance' (compared to earth; this is due to solar wind and the lack of a lunar atmosphere) in the soil on the moon. It's application in Particle Accelerators and superconductors and magnets is extremely important.
EDIT: Don't speculate that there's nothing of value there. There's tons of value in the moon, what with it's solid and non-molten core and helium soil and all. Oh, and titanium.

Ah ok, but you wouldn't make any money on that, the whole process would cost too much and we don't have the technology to move large amounts which again would cost way more than it would be worth. Maybe in the future though.
Indeed. It'd be more feasible if they did 3 things (which right now would take decades of planning and working):
1) Space Elevator
2) Moon Base
3) Robotics Advancements

Oh, and also, the space elevator: would be useful for energy gathering and as a great space base.

Because the life on the dark side of the moon would definitely hate us wrecking their helium rich soil in the name of scientific progress (what with all the titanium and scientific applications of the rare elements under the crust of the moon).
