  • Actually, it is possible to live on the moon:

    1. There's water on the North and South Poles, although in ice, it still provides basis for life. Also, with water, you can create oxygen for breathing.

    2. There is an almost unlimited amount of solar energy, due to the unfiltered atmosphere.

    Of course, there's still problems, such as a large but limited water supply, and walking around in oxygen tanks, but i think these could be solved with future technology.

  • And what we are doing about the asteroids,

    let them rain onto the moonbase would be, ermm - no good ?

  • @Demonlock54 Yeah but that whole "less gravity" thing makes it hard on our muscles. And to have sex....

  • @Demonlock54

    Well actually:

    Moon dust is over 40% oxygen and, under the right circumstances, you could get water from pure moon dust.

  • NONONONO.... NOT GUNNA HAPPEN. DID YOU SEE APOLLO 18!?!?!?!

  • So when a little meter hits the glass it will smash and you will die ....

  • @jmdin83 The moon is alternately closer and farther from the sun than the earth is due to it's orbit around the earth. There is more solar radiation simply because it is not attenuated by an atmosphere.

    Ultrasonic drilling seems to be the way to go both on the lunar surface and below.

    Yup, plenty of problems.
