There potentially is money in lunar mining, like rare earth minerals and helium-3. A lot of the current lunar mapping missions have been done to look for valuable deposits.
It is also likely that the Moon would become a manufacturing center for spacecraft given the lower gravity well. You could even potentially build a space elevator on the far side of the moon and use it as a sling to throw spacecraft into outer space or build a rail gun.
