What If We Settled on the Moon?

Imagine living on the Moon. You'd have the best view of Earth, enjoy bouncing around in zero gravity and living your life as an astronaut explorer. Ah, doesn't that sound nice! Except living on the Moon won't be like this at all. So what would it be like to actually live on the Moon? Which country would be first? And why would moondust be your biggest problem?

Correction at 00:26: of course the Moon does not have zero gravity. The gravity on the Moon is about 17% what it is on the Earth.

What If elsewhere:

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere." — Carl Sagan

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.

MINECRAFT MOON UPDATE

[VegitoTheBest]

You could transform the moon. Also you would have to make atmosphere I think. And have trees outside. There will be glass all around the moon it will be the roof when you go outside. The glass will protect you from the sun.

Eventually, the people on the moon might declare independence and we'll have to regain control of the moon colonies either through negotiations or force.

We will never run out of food as the moon is made of cheese

It would be interesting to see the long term psychological effects "living" in such a baron, deadly, lifeless environment for a long period of time. Give a new definition to the term "space case". You would have to assume a cabin fever type condition would be possible issue.

Me: Trying to find the "What if we settled on Mars" video
What If: Heres the same thing but infinitely better "What if we nuked Mars"
Me: -_-
