can we one day live on the moon?

Answer 1

yes! if you hit your head with a brick....

Answer 2

Without artificial support? No. The moon does not have an atmosphere, nor can support one (it is too small). Additionally, the moon is rock, and does not seem to have a molten core like the earth, thus giving it no geothermal energy.

However, if the technology advances far enough, we may live on the moon in man-made habitats. Such an endeavor is risky, just as risky as living in space.

Answer 3

If you mean live as in survive then yes, we've already done it. If you mean "live" as in hang out, play golf, grow turnips in the garden then probably not. Aside from the obvious problems which can probably be solved like breathable air, water, and food, lunar gravity is too weak for humans to remain healthy for very long. A person who moved to the moon would likely not be able to return to earth after living in lunar gravity for a few years. Muscles would atrophy from lack of use rendering a lunar citizen quadraplegic on earth. Also, I suspect that the circulatory system would deteriorate as well since blood wouldn't have to be pumped with as much pressure. (no uphill so to speak) Maybe if people were willing to permanently move to the moon it wouldn't be an issue. They just wouldn't be able to return.

Answer 4

Someday, people will live on the moon. It's inevitable, if we're ever to get serious about space travel. Escaping a gravity well like Earth's is extremely expensive, and if we keep our planetside space programs too long, we're bound to bleed the world dry of resources. Kind of a vicious circle. We build spacecraft bigger and faster to see the stars, and then have to go Out There because we've exhausted our planet and rendered it uninhaibtable.

Maybe we'd be better off getting out s**t together here first, before even THINKING of outer space.

Answer 5

Humans could be living on the Moon within 20 years, says a leading lunar scientist.
According to Bernard Foing of the European Space Agency, the technology will soon exist to set up an outpost for visiting astronauts.
However, political will is needed to inspire the public to support the initiative.

"I believe anything is possible if you put your heart, mind and sould into it. I'ts all in how bad you want it."

Answer 6

I believe there are supernatural creatures on the moon. So we cannot drill into the moon's surface to set up a home. And we would not have enough air to live even ten years on the moon.

Answer 7

People have lived on the moon for short periods in the 60s. We could go back, but nobody really wants to enough to foot the bill right now.

Answer 8

Of course we can but maybe not in the near future. One of the many essential needs such as oxygen and food can be solved by using the technique of hydroponics and I'm sure many techniques exist and are still being developed. So start packing your bags.

Answer 9

Of course we can! The only reason we are not there already is;
a. There is no oil.
b. We aren't still trying to outdo another country in a cold war period.
c. There hasn't been a president with vision since Kennedy.

Answer 10

I DONT THINK THAT YOU OR I CAN BUT MAYBE ONE DAY IN THE FUTURE SOMEONE WILL LIVE ON THE MOON.

Answer 11

Of course. Whether we can live there long-term and live there successfully, that remains to be seen.
