      Actually living on the Moon shouldn't pose any of the problems Dreksier mentioned in the long run. The low gravity is a huge advantage when it comes to moving stuff around, the unlimited energy supply from the Sun is never going to fail due to cloudy days, mirrors in orbit should provide suitable 24 hour days or have several outposts around the far side. Underground could also provide 24 hour cycles, and we can build a lot bigger on the Moon than on Earth. You can fly on the Moon because of low gravity in a large hall filled with air...just attach the wings to your arms and flap :)
      And there are many, many other fun science applications the Moon is good for, but the best ones are those we can't even imagine at the moment. You could even give it an atmosphere by wrapping a plastic bag around it and filling it up with air (I/4 pressure is fine).

    The best places on the Moon to set up camp would be the lavatubes. Lunar lava tubes would protect against radiation, micrometeorites and insane temperature swings. Those lava tubes could be shored up to prevent collapse, and they could be closed off and partially or fully pressurized. They can be many kilometers long and 500 meters to 2km in diameter, making whole cities possible inside the lavatubes.

    Of course, we'll also need some ways of minimizing contact with lunar dust, which is so fine and sharp it can cause damage to spacesuits, wiring, electronic equipment, habitation modules, and astronaut lungs. Perhaps suitports could be used, or maybe magnets would be needed to remove the dust from spacesuits, equipment, etc.

    Just build the settlement inside a lava tube (to protect people from radiation). And build it on a huge centrifuge that you spin it to simulate earth gravity. It's not a new concept (I think I may have first heard it on Isaac Arthur's channel), and it could be repeated on Mars and wherever else humans eventually colonize.

    Most of the problems should be easy to solve. Plants have been grown successfully in space microgravity. Habitats can be constructed in lava tubes or buried to protect from radiation. VR can provide entertainment and simulate other environments. The gravity thing is a big problem. I think a solution might be a large rotating space station that can simulate Mars and earth gravity should be built near the moon which people can go to when needed to keep them healthy.

    We still don't know how debilitating the long term effects of lunar gravity are... if at all. A half hour session on a turn table would probably solve any physical problems. More serious study as to a future atmosphere project need to be made, as well. With proper protection, an ample, long term air envelope could be achieved.

    It's impractical. Its gravity field is too weak to sustain long-term human habitation without extensive physical exertion, which would be exhausting for young children. In addition, the amount of mining of any and all resource types on the Moon would be so commonplace that we'd have little room for large-scale habitation without refraining from extracting some of the Moon's trove of valuable metals/chemical compounds. The Moon would be used most efficiently as a source of materials, large-scale farming, and perhaps as a spaceport/waypoint between travel from Earth to bases on Mars/the Inner Asteroid Belt. Perhaps the Moon could be used alternatively as a military base, maximum-security prison, or research center for astrobiology/how microorganisms/multicellular organisms behave/change in space

      The Crystal Crystals Well, the ISS doesn't have any gravity and there are prolonged stays. I don't see it as a colony but rather a station to conduct science, such as a telescope where scientists go for 6 months intervals. Later it could be used for mining. The gravity would make living there a lot better than the ISS due to having at least some gravity.

    • @thecrystalcrystals9242
      @thecrystalcrystals9242 Před 6 lety

      Cuzeg Spiked those were different circumstances. I'm talking about a prison with high levels of security. Besides, this lunar prison is purely hypothetical; it's not even the most generally productive idea for the Moon. Although, it could/would only take up a small amount of space, and could additionally be located partially underground.

    • @thecrystalcrystals9242
      @thecrystalcrystals9242 Před 6 lety +1

      Demetrios b you weren't listening. I meant residential living. It's impractical due to the requirements for living a healthy life up on good old Luna. It should only be used for mining, scientific/military facilities, and as a refueling station for interplanetary vessels/a spacecraft hangar/a prime waypoint between Earth and Mars over the next 1,500 years or so. By 3,517, we'll be just about ready to move on to the Galilean Moons! Although, certain nations could operate on different celestial bodies simultaneously. But then that'd lead to the Type 1.5-civilization version of the colonial wars in America, but with more cannons/spyware than actual battles. Sci-fi esque spacecraft capable of relatively sharp turns, loops, and destruction of bases akin to fighter jets/drones on Earth are either really hard to make, or an impossibility due to the mechanics of deep-space motion. It'd take too long to explain at this point.

The biggest challenges I see it will be micrometeorites and of course government bureaucracy. I hope the private sector can step forward with enough punch to make this happen despite the obstacles from our own politicians here on earth. And other naysayers as well.

    @sciencerscientifico310 Před 2 lety +1

    How would we deal with the extra sharp moon dust? Lunar dust is so fine and sharp that it can cut holes in spacesuits, scratch helmet visors and other transparent objects to the point of no longer being usable, damage wiring and gaskets, and cause harm to humans if inhaled. Possible solutions include using magnets to thoroughly clean equipment to get the dust off, using a triple layer airlock system, or using a suitport (where the spacesuits stay on the outside of the craft or habitation module, and astronauts enter the spacesuits through the rear which than detach from the wall)

    There is no chance of colonizing the moon. But a good science fiction story book might be written.

    To grow food on the moon would be as easy as to do it on the Biosphere 2, would it?
