Construction of a lunar settlement has been the subject of intense research since the 90's. Engineers from all backgrounds, but notably Civil and Chemical engineering, have been involved all along.

The moon presents a strategic waypoint between Mars. It's a good refueling point, due to its location and low escape velocity. It's a vast mineral resource, rich in Oxygen and Iron and Titanium - all of which can be extracted from the soil and processed for use. The moon is also rich in Deuterium, which can be used to produce clean nuclear energy.

Current technological challenges seem more mundane than extraordinary. With no water, what can we use instead of concrete? The soil compact as it is - and it is extremely compact - how can we dig and drill, and build foundations? With the incredibly fine lunar dust, how can we protect machinery everytime a shuttle lands or takes off?

So, the question is, given our current condition, should we construct on the moon?

President Bush set an agressive space exploration agenda for the country. Included is a lunar settlement initiative.
Research on lunar settlements is not new -. Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, and Environmental research intensified in the 90's.

In the face of this, a human question. Is it wrong to deny the human pleasure of drinking, in a setting already devoid of most familiar experiences, and faces, and pleasures?

Can the gravitational pull of the sun be measured on Earth's surface? i.e. Could a person jump higher (theoretically) in the day, because some of Earth's gravitational pull is offset by the gravitational pull of the sun? Also, if the earth's gravitational pull against the moon is enough to create a bulge in the earth (tides) then why doesn't it have more effect on people on Earth's surface?

Is it by particle density, or is by the cubic meter?

I have always wonder why planets have spherical shapes. Does it have a scientific explanation for it?
or Is it one of the characteristic for a thing in space to be called 'planet'?

Supposing Earth had a second moon of comparable size as our currect moon, what effects would that have on Earth?

Here's a couple scenarios:

(1) The second moon on exact opposite side of the planet, both moons had the same orbits.

(2) The second moon directly behind our moon, an equal distance from that moon as the first has to Earth, and both having the same orbit.

(3) The second moon directly behind our moon, an equal distance from that moon as the first has to Earth, but in one case has an orbit 2x as long as our moon, and in another case half as long.

As a bonus, what would happen if instead of a moon it was a planet with oceans of it's own? How would Earth and moon affect its oceans?
