Living on the moon would be impossibe due to the high risk of encountering space-nazis.

Spend just ten billion years on the ISS and you'll be almost a year younger than you should be! The dermatologists that would hate you are dead.

Battlefield: Moon, comming soon

Drive a tank to the very top of the tallest mountain on the moon. Fire a projectile and teamkill yourself.

ISS: The most inefficient anti-aging cream.

Did you hear about the future restaurants they're building on the moon?
The food is excellent...but there's no atmosphere. 

[Vsauce]

What do space pirates say? "LunARR". 
If you liked the video be sure to give it a *thumbs up* and *share it*!

Thanks for watching!

Two most prominent thoughts I had during this video:
1) I could live on the moon and feel the same as I do now
2) the moon is the perfect place for an introvert to live
Conclusion: I'm moving to the moon

[hhiskgj]

hotel on the moon called moon hotel .
guy ask
- can I book a room
- hotel receptionist : the moon is full

[thatguyonyoutube]

Imagine fighting a war or something and having all projectiles began orbiting the planet...just shoot behind you and retreat lol

[ChrissieBear]

But the moon is an egg, we shouldn't disturb it. :V

[mismismism]

What if aliens haven't visited us cuz their bones are too brittle from being in space for so long that landing on Earth would kill them? Random not-fully-thought-out thought, so if it's a stupid idea go easy, I'm just sharing a thought I had watching this lol.

[MIgardener]

Well if we lived on the moon, I would help to grow all the food! Vegetables! MMMmmm

[coriscotupi]

..Someone would be making silly videos asking "What if we lived on Earth"?

How to survive on the moon:

Step 1: Put magnets in the floor, and imbed iron along your spine, joints, arms, legs, etc. to deal with the lower gravity causing weird stuff with your spine.
Step 2: Be underground to get away from the radiation, temperatures, lack of oxygen, etc.
Step 3: Have oxygen recyclers and water recyclers. These exist, they're in use on the ISS, as a matter of fact.
Step 4: Have some sort of power generation. Solar panels would work, but they wouldn't be receiving constant power. A nuclear reactor would be a nuclear reactor. Possibly use some form of reactor powered by the fission of hydrogen and oxygen in water. Or fusion into water. I dunno, nuclear hydro power basically.
Step 5: Grow fruits, vegetables, and nuts (to provide protein) in order to have food and not die.
Step 6: Build an ansible so you can play videogames with someone on earth and not go insane from being along.

I can sleep or wake at any hour of the day or night.  I VOLUNTEER AS THE MOON MAN....

[markklewinski]

So we shifted our vision from the moon to mars.

[stavros]

Would living underground be a viable option? Heating shouldn't be a problem and radiation can be minimized. Hell even building a structure in a deep crater and then covering it with moon soil could be doable. There are a ton of things that could propel us into space age: telescopes situated on the moon, easier launch into space and easier construction, better conditioning for long term missions, reusable rockets like the ones SpaceX recently built. I'm obviously no scientist but the reason we haven't done this yet seems to be because we don't want to and not because we can't.

[isumkitchens]

What if we created a weighted suit that simulated the other 5/6ths of earths gravity?And stayed in underground bunkers (unless gathering supplies or launching/landing) to help keep radiation problems down, and kept in sync with earth time to help prevent sleep problems?

From the surface of the moon, the  Earth does not move from it's position in the sky as shown in the animation. The position of the Sun would change, but since the same side of the moon always faces the Earth (give or take a few degrees back and forth) there is no "Earthrise" on the moon. The Astronauts experienced Earthrise, but that was because they were orbiting the Moon and so their perspective changed as they went around. 

[Rakshasa]

In Mass Effect I went to the moon to screw around in my Mako. I fired several shots at Earth thinking it would literally rain on someone's parade. And now I find out that my Mako rounds just orbit the Moon. I'm so disillusioned :(
