Re: LSAM

6) A cut down LSAM, that weighs only a few tons, and can therefore be
discarded without serious consequences.

This LSAM would be able to support 4 astronauts for a few hours only.
It could even be unpressurised.

The components of a base (small or large) would be landed in advance.

This approach has marginal benefit for an Apollo approach of visiting a
couple of sites and then abandoning them for 60 years. However, if
multiple crews want to return to the same site it wins hands down.
