The idea, at least as far as the Sams can figure, is that using clones costs the mining company less than training than shipping new personnel. The film takes place just a few decades from the present, and it is a stretch to believe that developing reliable cloning, cryogenic freezing, and memory implantation technology costs less than training a new astronaut/technician every three years.Of course, this film does not necessarily take place in this universe, and in the film's universe, cloning technology et cetera might already exist and be commonplace and cheap. Yet, it is still difficult to accept that all this advanced technology couldn't be more easily and cheaply put towards training smart and capable personnel to send to the moon, potentially even using the memory implants with their consent to artificially boost their knowledge of the base.Plus, the film's own universe is also clearly aghast at the clone use, as the news broadcasts at the very end of the film make clear. If that society was shocked to discover clones being tricked into thinking they are workers, then it stands to reason that this technology is not actually so commonplace as to be cheap--cheaper than putting a few astronauts through a training program, at least.
