How a Moon Colony Would Change Everything

The Moon is an untapped world filled with resources. But is it worth it to colonize the Moon? I it has, how would we colonize the Moon? Why is the Moon important? We'll examine these topics in this video, as well as see why the Moon is the most important celestial body anywhere near Earth.

What about centrifuge habitats for dealing with low gravity?

Lunar dust and soil aside from logistics is the most challenging environmental problem we have yet to figure out how to cope with. It contains tiny particles as sharp as razors that cut and etch into materials like space suits and airlock seals.
A correction regarding large scale mining, if you were to foolishly do large scale mining to the point where the overall mass of the moon (yes its possible) is negatively affected, we would experience erratic tidal flows, flooding and worse. I'm honestly surprised nobody has considered the possibility of this outcome when talking about large scale mining.

I wish this was taken more seriously, very underlooked

1. Search valuable asteroid
2. crash it on the moon
3. mine it
4. profit

If the earth and the moon formed from the same stuff and earth is rich in iron, precious metals and other valuable stuff the moon should be also. In fact the whole inner solar system should be rich with stuff that we can mine for that would make the expense of space exploration worth it.

need a big tower extending up into space to be used as like a grav lift, that would be cool

Is there Helium-3 on the moon? Last I heard, there MIGHT be Helium-3 on the moon.

First of all I love the vision, it would be so cool if we could have lunar tourism and mining on the moon. How long do you think it will take for it to be economical? Setting up mining on the moon would take 10s possibly hundreds of billions to get to a fraction of terra’s capacity so it is going to take a time. What do you think?

[TeaRiker]

obviously we should send our prisoners there, too
