Who wants to see a design competition for the cheapest fastest way to create a biosphere over the entire moon?

Question

Like, I figure once it's known how to do it the cheapest, fastest and safest humanly possible it should actually happen and then humanity will have somewhere new to settle and expand into seeing as how earth is pretty full and only getting fuller. I also assume that once built working on increasing food production, possible population density and improving the settled areas in terms of form and function would be an ever ongoing process. Anyone else think this is a good idea and it should actually happen?

I believe that because it's there, and no one is using it, and that the earth will eventually be unble to sustain the demands of our human civilization, that it is our destiny to settle the moon. I also believe that just because something has never been done before it doesn't mean god doesn't want it to happen, that just doesn't conform to reality as new things happen every minute of every day all over this planet and they always have, so if there is a god he/she or it must not be bothered by new and diffrent things.

I believe that the resources for the vast majoriety of the effort could be found on the moon and that resources there could be harvested for use on earth and that renewable resources could be seeded there for it to be resource productive after an initial investment of earths resources. I think that factories could be set up on it's surface using renewable energy to produce prefab designed sections for the creation of a dome and interior. I also believe that the vast majoriety of the earth's surface can not be settled if the enviroment is to not collapse, and if it does collapse then the earth will become uninhabitible.

Things like radiation, light, heat, water, energy, food pruduction and enviromental regulation would of course have to be takin into account in the design.

Answer 1

Well....I just wonder why if it's such a good idea.....why didn't God do that to begin with? There has to be a reason He doesn't want us up there living. Visiting, I guess is OK, but........I think we should learn how to take care of the planet God blessed us with before we move on to destroying other planets and moons.
Sorry!

Answer 2

We live by "If it ain't broke, why fix it?"
We don't have a true reason to expand to the moon.
The technology to do something like that is far passed what we are capable of doing today. The amount of money is too vast, the type of transportation is not developed yet and the size of such a project is too extreme.

If we were to ever build a dome it would be most likely be in the ocean. This way they could work with simulated weightlessness and perfect a leak proof environment.

Answer 3

The creation of biospheres on other planets is being studied under the name of Terra-forming.
We must eventually find other places to colonize for the humanity to expand and diversify.
Not to be pessimistic, but we are starting to realize how fragile is our biosphere. Colonization of Space is a kind of insurance against extinction of the human species in case of extreme degradation of the Earth's environment and/or possible natural catastrophes.

Answer 4

We don't have the resources or the technology to build it. That's probably like building a dome over north and south america combined. and that doesn't take into account that since the moon has no magnetic fiield that whoever lived there would be constanlly bathed ina radiation.

Answer 5

Actually, the earth isn't becoming overcrowded. Most of the earth isn't even settled. There are quite a few cities that are overcrowded, but most of the earth isn't crowded. I can drive for miles in any direction and not see anyone.
