Humanity's First Giant Leap Beyond Earth
The Moon is Earth's closest celestial neighbor—only 3 days away by rocket. Its low gravity, abundant resources like ice in polar craters, Aluminium, Iron and Oxygen, and stable surface make it a perfect Place for Space base and Space Port.
The Moon is one of the few places in our solar system where we can build a Space Elevator
Here are the reasons to colonize Moon
We can build a spaceport (Like an airport of Earth)
Refueling dock
We can move there dangerous experiments (biological or physical, with artificial black holes)
Science
Huge telescopes
We can build a space base
We can build a lunapark and develop tourism here
We can build Electromagnetic catapult to export resources
We can build a Space elevator here and use it to export resources
We can design Huge Space ships on the orbit of the moon using space elevator
We can build a huge sustainable lunar state
MIT developed Graphene Roll to Roll manufacturing method.
We can use graphene strings as a rope for our Space Elevator.
Check the following video for more details.
NASA designed technology that allows us to extract Oxygen from Lunar Soil
The lunar regolith consists mostly of SiO2, so technically it contains up to 53% oxygen
Here is the video that describes the technology of oxygen extraction
We already have enough resources and technology level to start the lunar colonization. We should just direct these resources in the appropriate direction.
