The home is pelted with micrometeorites as fast as bullets and jostled by quakes that last for hours. Temperatures can climb past 250 degrees during the day and plunge below -200 degrees at night. Looking out the window risks radiation exposure. A plumbing leak could spell doom.
But if the Resilient Extra-Terrestrial Habitats Institute accomplishes its goals, the inhabitants will stay safe amid the hostile conditions. Funded with a $15 million grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the five-year research project combines advanced computer simulations and physical tests to glean insights into how to create a lunar habitat that will keep astronauts alive. The work will help inform how humans build a lasting presence on the moon.
This is no longer an academic question. NASA, with the help of international and commercial partners, plans to return people to the moon in 2024. In the following decade, the agency wants to establish “a sustained long-term presence on the lunar surface,” and build up infrastructure such as communications, power generation and waste disposal. Eventually, the so-called Artemis Base Camp could accommodate a crew of four astronauts with the goal of spending a month or two at a time on the surface.
No one cannot live on the Moon. The blood of humans will boil inside their bodies in the daytime, and the blood will freeze at night. Save this for a scifi setting.
How about building houses for the American homeless first?
No nuclear waste piles on the other side. Moon base Alpha!

Great, now we can send all the Convicts and criminals there for life sentences. How nice and we keep our blue beautiful planet.
The 3D printing machine exists to use the moon rock sand to form a cement to build habitable structures. Lined with high strength carbon paper material. Air tight. Water has always been the missing ingredient unless on the dark side.
people can't even stay in their own homes on earth for a couple months, and we're supposed to believe the human race will be cool and just chill on the MOON?

What will the government be like on the Moon or Mars? And if several nations establish bases...who will govern what?
Yes, let’s go to the moon and destroy it like we are destroying earth. Let’s spend billions up there instead of here for things like education, conquering poverty, health care and so on and on.
WHAT ARE THE CHINESE DOING ON THE MOON NOW? THEY ARE THEIR
I hear the views are out of this world!
Bullshit
Most kids don't like to cut the grass. I guess that explains a lot.
There is zero reason for us to inhabit the moon when we cant even take care of Earth.

Can't build on the moon. We would have no choice but to go underground. Same with mars.
I have trouble maintaining my home here on planet earth. Are there reliable contractors on the moon.
Who would want to live on a baron moon with very little gravity, very little atmosphere and that is bombarded with deadly radiation?
