My worst fear, as is probably the same for many folks, is an accident on the moon (crash landing, failed liftoff) and having bodies left on the moon. THAT would be a hard thing to deal with, and one would think we could not really do anything else until a mission(s) were mounted to retrieve what was left so that the entire world would not think of human remains left on the moon every time they see the moon in the sky.
