Colonizing the Moon

By Jessica De Loera

How could we colonize the moon?

How much would it cost to colonize the moon?

Is it going to

be possible to colonize the moon?

Some ideas...

The moon has a lot of flat surfaces because of volcanoes, but that would mean their would be some heat on the moon because of the volcanoes. Which would help us to getting closer to colonizing the moon.

There are four seas on the moon and that would be something helpful.

There are still craters that are being created on the moon which would mean volcanoes still erupt. That would be something you would have to live with on the moon, but I think it's possible because of the fact that we have volcanoes on Earth and they do not effect us in a huge amount.

How long would it take to colonize the moon?

THE END.

We have landed.

To colonize the moon it will be difficult. It would take a tremendous amount of time. Colonizing the moon is many many years away.

Our dreams are bigger than Earth, we've

succeeded traveling to the moon. Now it it being

able to live there. At some point human colony of permanent living could happen but it would be very difficult. "Countless problems must be solved to make even minimum human survival possible." On Earth we have plants and oxygen and air on the moon there is nothing. Also another problem of colonizing the moon would be that there is no atmosphere to shield the humans from penetrating solar radiation, cosmic rays and other hazards of open space. An idea that some people have is to build a huge dome and have people live there with trees and plants, and also breathable air.

Colonizing the moon can be.. is a difficult task

but it can be done.

To colonize the moon we need many things. Like food, shelter, water, oxygen, etc. Just to transport food, water, and other supplies it would cost a lot of money. To transport water, I think, would be the most expensive because of all the gallons you would have to take to the moon. The technology used for/ on the moon is also ridiculously expensive. Colonizing the would mean a lot of money being spent, fortunes. Although it could be tremendously expensive private sectors may be able to pay what the government can not afford.

Facts about the moon:

  • Scientists believe the moon was formed out of the Earth millions of years ago.
  • Only twelve people have onto the surface of the moon.
  • Surface temperature of the moon goes up to 212°F at lunar noon and -247°F at night.
  • The moons surface is rocky and covered in craters.

One way we could start by colonizing the moon would be farming, hydroponic farming (which is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions). With farming we would also have a chance of oxygen on the moon and then later on we would not have to use the suits used by astronauts. Also with farming you would not have to transport food and the food might not taste all that great but it would most likely taste better than dried foods or dehydrated foods. Another way to colonize would be adding factories to the moon so the smoke and heat it brings out warms up the moon and that way we could have live plantation.
