A Lunar Space Elevator would also be far more possible than one on Earth, plus give us construction insight when the proper technology becomes readily viable for use to build one on Earth. Similar to how the Space Stations we have built around Earth can tell us how to build Space Stations around the Moon, which is still quite far away to travel to. Hopefully we can build these systems soon, not letting this drag out since we likely cannot count on continued Russian engagement in such endeavors.
The moon does not spin in relation to the earth. it is tidally locked. That means that only very few places on the moon will see earthrise because of seasonal variations in the moons orbit. The majority of the moon will either see the earth or not see it.
Whenever I think of the idea of colonizing the moon, my mind can't help but think of how cities were built in the anime girls last tour in which cities were built in some sort of levels and the inhabitants live in a sort of confine environment. I wonder if one day, if ever humanity manage to land on the moon and build the first habitats, as they expand on the lunar surface, they can apply the same concept of city building as the anime albeit a more confine version as, obviously, the moon had no atmosphere whatsoever thus the layers or levels of city should be air tight and were connected on the surface by some sort of self contained channels or subway systems. Its simply mind tickling to think of such scenario... 😊
P. S. Had humanity manage to discover the secret behind artificial gravity, the human race would've been one step closer at becoming a multi planetary species. Just overcoming this single obstacle can have a huge impact on the field of space exploration. 😊
Using a mixture of gallium’ aluminum’ and water, all can be found and liberated from the surface of the moon, to make hydrogen using the Grotthuss mechanism with very little power output. Also, after the reaction of the aluminum two the gallium and water the gallium is available for reuse.
Why not apply Dyson sphere theory to enclosing the Moon? A modified Dyson, incremental, in some transparent to still receive light on the surface. A skin where ships could dock. Other ideas?
bit baffled what that last section of this commentary had to do with the 'colonize the moon' just a string of inventions linked to space exploration in general
I demand a view from my windows. I am not going all the way to the moon to live in a lava tunnel. I want the reality of the sci-fi movies of the 1990s, panoramic views of the stars and the earth.
5:16 stars would be hard to see if you stand on the surface of the moon because how reflective they are. The same reason why NASA's moonlanding photos only show a blank dark sky.
Are you kidding me..?? Colonization of the Moon…?? We already left all our trash behind on the Moon..we left all our trash behind on Mars. We Colonized the Planet Earth and look what happened.
Earth is too, however since it doesn’t have an atmosphere, full city-sized colonies on Luna will require anti-meteorite shielding of some kind. 99% of them are tiny though.
It will require underground cities. Huge Solar arrays on the rim that always face the sun. To power the drilling and to melt the walls, floors and ceilings to impervious glass, the only local building material. Daily exercise routines to maintain bone density which will be long and intense. Which means only healthy, fit adults (no babies) can live there. Get really sick and you're fired, back to Earth. It can be done, it should be done as a platform for Space exploration. All life-giving chemicals have to be 100% recycled (oxygen, water, nutrients, etc.) A thousand years from now we may find we are accelerating the moon's escape from our gravity if we develop it just to exploit it, as we have done on Earth. The other problem is return transport re-entry. To date we use distance-eating speed (which will be provided by electro-magnetic launch ramps) and heat panels. That will have to be rethought, by rocket braking and entering our upper atmosphere at speeds closer to 160kph, enabling early deployment of controllable parachutes - to choose landing sites.
At first you find a lava tube NOT too big, Lave tubes are NOT very solid, Lunar lava tubes are very undisturbed for the past 4 billion years - careful calculations have to be made to estimate the carrying load of their ceilings ; in any event they would need re-enforcement as human habitats. So the first tube settlement needs to be small enough for the expedition to be able to convert to a structurally safe site. On the surface you construct some habitats with windows and egress access to the underground habitats that house the manufacture factories and hydroponic farms that enjoy about 15 days sun-light via light tubes filtered through glass to remove the UV, followed by 15 days of LED lighting. In addition to producing food, telescope mirrors & lenses, the factories need to manufacture building materials for any Lunar or orbital structures that are wanted. Over time the manufacture/farm base can diversify and extend throughout any tubes deemed suitable, each supporting occasional above ground posts/egress points.
Many problems you forgot to factor. That which will go wrong, will go wrong. 1: how to get stuff to move. 2: no natural resource on moon. Food and equipment will be expensive to transport to moon. 3: how to find a lava tunnel and how to get to lava tunnel. 4: radiation
@@plozar Very true but the problem is EVERY meteor gets through on the moon with no atmosphere to burn them up. I wonder how many hit the moon every 24 hours? There must be some data somewhere.....
We should NEVER colonise it. Firstly a bare unspoilt moon is central to our culture. Simply just aesthetically. But there are cultures like Muslims and Jews for instance who use it to base their lunar calendar. It's also so crucial to navigation in remote regions for the world and for nocturnal animals. As well as it's gravitational pull on the earth affecting our climate. We humans need to learn to just leave things alone!! At the minimum maybe have an observatory. Even then on the dark side of it so as to not pollute our view of space on death. But LEAVE IT AT THAT!!
Imagine how great a moon-based telescope would be without an atmosphere.
it would be amazing
Imagine looking at Earth from the Moon with a telescope
What about the jameswebb???
Kind of like the hubble telescope.
It could be a better launching station too for rockets / vehicles for its lower gravity.
We as humans are just at the very beginning of so much knowledge from space.
Semi-inflatable habitats inside a lava tunnel seems like a good start for a Moon colony
With 16% Earth's gravity, I see good potential for personal human flight on the moon, both inside and outside habitats. It'll be exceedingly fun.
I am thinking underground at first to make it more cost effective if that is a more cost effective way to expand humanity’s knowledge of space.😀
Solar radiation is the main factor most colonization videos overlook. How do you shield against radiation without a magnetosphere?
A Lunar Space Elevator would also be far more possible than one on Earth, plus give us construction insight when the proper technology becomes readily viable for use to build one on Earth.

What If Earth and Venus switched places
What If Mars and Mercury swapped orbits
The moon does not spin in relation to the earth. it is tidally locked. That means that only very few places on the moon will see earthrise because of seasonal variations in the moons orbit. The majority of the moon will either see the earth or not see it.
The moon does wiggle a little bit, so at spots near the lunar South Pole you should be able to witness the earth go slowly over and under the horizon.
@@Zacharysharkhazard true. Also, if I remember correctly, the orbit of the moon is not exactly aligned with the earth sun solar plane.
Great content, commentary and comments ❤

5:30 Hey, that’s Atlantis, from Stargate Atlantis. Cool to see it on the moon

A visit would be cool, but to live there would suckkk
What about lava tubes for shelter
does temperature have someting to do for best spot choose
Glass making moon place have it material
Are you kidding me..??
Colonization of the Moon…??
We already left all our trash behind on the Moon..we left all our trash behind on Mars.
We Colonized the Planet Earth and look what happened.
First thing we must land on said Moon?
Nuclear only has 2 syllables
Is NASA keeping eye on voigour 1
Why they want to stay on the moon when the moon is bombarded by meteorites every day

Hey, where’s the other narrator?
Yeah it lava so moon ground humidity have and pressure environment possible all solved it
Didn't they try this on The time machine movie ?
How to tell if a lunar-proposal is rubbish:
- it mentions Helium-3
All this easier said than done ... we wont see anything like this till probably next century

Sorry, I jumped the gun on that one.
Many problems you forgot to factor.
That which will go wrong, will go wrong.
1: how to get stuff to move.
2: no natural resource on moon. Food and equipment will be expensive to transport to moon.
3: how to find a lava tunnel and how to get to lava tunnel.
4: radiation
Vast amounts of natural resources on the moon. Just not edible ones.
Lava tunnel protects against radiation and the earth's magnetic field is still a factor
Food ingredients cost million of dollar per shipment by 🚀 😝😜☑️💰💰
What if a Base gets hit by a Meteor?
If a Base gets hit by a Meteor, the base is destroyed and everyone is killed. Same as would happen on earth.
@@plozar yep
@@plozar Very true but the problem is EVERY meteor gets through on the moon with no atmosphere to burn them up. I wonder how many hit the moon every 24 hours? There must be some data somewhere.....
I dont envy any poor sod who gets to risk life and limb to travel to and from the moon and put up with the ghastly conditions !!😂😂
Most EXPENSIVE foods on the moon ( per rocket launch = USD$ million / billion )....☑️🧠🤪😱
...and what about space women????

Yes, I can see you turning away thousands of dollars if pay.
Russia. Won't be providing anything
China is already doing things.
Think of the real time criminal executions on the surface of the moon? That would be awesome to watch.
