Why NASA Is Finally Returning To The Moon

A brand new lunar base operating entirely off solar energy. A 3D printer that can construct buildings using moon rocks and dust. A space RV vehicle that can drive around astronauts without a spacesuit. This is why NASA is finally returning to the moon with the Artemis missions.

On the moon, it would be better to have a base underground. This would protect it from radiation and most meteor strikes. You might have solar panels and rocket launch pads on the surface, but most things should be underground. And the base can expand as you create tunnels for mining. As for transportation, a high speed underground train system is your best option. Without an atmosphere, aircraft don't even work on the moon. And messing around on the surface is dangerous in general. You would only want to go there when necessary. But over time, it would be possible to create a very habitable underground city. The main issue being what effect 1/6 normal gravity would have on the human body.

Your content is amazing and stock footage quality is also good. Keep it up 👍👍

Apparently the top layer of the moons surface is enriched with Helium3 from the Sun. That fuel source alone can be used for many things and it's right there on the surface.

i subscribed mainly because you actually linked the whole video in the short video! Thanks

[tstatus]

Why is this not a video game already? Gather resources, build your lunar base, level up lol

[jan_phd]

Condominiums, 8 story high rises, and underground operational and sleeping modules... make it so.

[ThomasLee]

Solar is silly. Nucear would be more functional.

I worked at the Johnson Space Center in the 1980's
during the first shuttle missions. The saddest thing was that we did not go back
to the moon and only worked in low earth orbit. What a waste of time. We went on
to attack other countries and found the money to keep war on the front page. We
diverted funds away from actually developing a moon base and learn how to work
with the world rather than to attack people we should have been trading with. The
science we could have learned had we been more bold. Would people die, yes, People
died massively when they came to the new world. We also brought small pox to the
natives and that nearly wiped them out. Many lessons are to be learned through
these efforts. How many did we lose in the wars we started and the governments we
flipped while being imperialist. What a waste? It is like Christopher Columbus
touching the shore of the New World and turning around and sailing back to Spain
to report, "OK, we have been there and we do not need to go back."

Our investigation of the
moon will build a platform we can explore the solar system from easily and using
very little resource that actually has to be lifted from earth. The products
build and refined on the moon can be delivered to anywhere on earth using a solar
powered mass driver to launch out of the moon's shallow gravity well to any half
kilometer on earth using reentry vehicles constructed from melted basaltic rock
mined on the moon and built with large 3-D printers on the moon. These reentry
devices are basically one-way shipments and the shells can be used as raw materials
for housing, storage, roadway construction, boats and hundreds of other uses after
they have brought their products back to earth. Hitting Mars would not be that
much more difficult and we could turn Mars into an Ikea so that the astronauts only
need to arrive with a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.

I propose that if we had had this in force and we had curbed our imperialism, we
could have massive manufacturing on the moon with cheap solar sheets that would keep our
infrastructure running and keep these fascists out of trouble. We would be growing food
for space travel on the moon in the lava tubes, building reentry craft out of basaltic thread
and launching them from the surface of the moon with product manufactured on the moon and
smelted in cometory orbits of the sun's heliosphere and extruded into structural elements
on the way back to the moon or one of the Lagrange points for the construction of space
stations, and send prefabbed materials to Mars to turn our base there into an Ikea so our
astronauts should only have to show up with a screw driver and a hammer. You think too
small.

How about setting up a base on the moon and start actually making space pay. The new
renascence will be the new science and materials we will discover when we get up to the
moon and build a mass driver and set up basaltic thread generation and applying it to large
3D printer generation of reentry vehicles to return product we generate on the moon back to
earth without much fuel as the mass driver is solar powered. Solar power is readily
available 14 days a month at any one spot on the moon. We will need to generate food
up there, but our being there will help to generate organic soil and we can generate
our own light for the growth of food that could make it cheaper to stay on the moon and
travel farther outward. We could have done this already but our imperialism got in
the way. We had to feed the military industrial complex rather than explore space.
We made bad decisions back in the late 1970's, 80's, and so on until now we are starting
to wake up and get our priorities more in line.

[sweenie]

Making Al I beams etc would be a beginning for orbital construction of rotating habitats.

[periklisspanos]

Yes yes they returned to their place in Utah somewhere

[RobertFairweatherMusic]

Returning? Why no live shots from space with the capsule approaching the moon?

[randym.]

Did anyone notice the first picture of a view of Earth in the background as if it was taken from the Moon? The Hugeness of the Earth is so much more realistic than the first photos taken from the first trip to the moon when you consider how small the moon is and the distance from Earth in reality. Something ain't right folks.

[TheWadetube]

Seeing a space video showing wind blowing on the moon and sound effects lowers my expectations of this design team. Otherwise it is very inspiring.

[arsnotorious]

My favorite part is guns won't be allowed due to pressure, I guarantee electric charge protection equipment evolves like crazy soon.

[productguru]

How much would such a program cost? Who would put out such a big budget?

[gregorylambrihgt]

Yes! But if they use the water for return fuel how are they goin to replunish the water for drinking and growing food? You say it is not unlimited or on limited quanity.

[cristiancojocaru]

Definitely moon projects are way more logical and practical all together than Mars! Mars, in my opinion, will be feasible when the propulsion systems will make possible to make that distance in matter of hours or a few days at most!Right now, to travel for 6 months in and another 6 back plus the prior extensive preps., it is economically not feasible, fisically and mentally for the human crew exhausting if not totally draining energy!

Take my sub your videos rock! Requesting any and all Saturn related content for the future. Plz accept challenge.

This time the aliens are gonna be nice 😂
