will we run out of space on earth in 1000 years, is the moon liveable?

Answer 1

No, it is likely that we will eventually be able to terraform the deserts of this planet and build cities there. Experimental crops have already been grown in barren places like that. The population will certainly grow but a large part of this world is empty. The moon will eventually be colonised. A thousand years is a long time, by then we will certainly have colonised Mars and perhaps some of the planetary moons in the solar system. However we will be living in biospheres or similar.

Answer 2

With a little bit of luck we wont run out of space on Earth in 1000 years. Possibly, the earth will run out of people. The moon is no more livable than it was 1000 years ago, and for all intent purposes, the idea that it can be colonized is still wishful thinking.

Answer 3

You apparently have not been to Alabama, Mississippi, or the American southwest. The Earth is full of empty land and wide open spaces. It is unlikely that mankind will run our of living space in a thousand years but resources like food are another matter. The Moon is livable only if you can live inside of something that resembles the Earth because there is no air there.

Answer 4

The number of humans on Earth has doubled in the last 40 years. I'd say Earth is already overcrowded and we are "out of space".

Even if right now, today, we had a cheap and easy way of transporting people to the moon, along with all the equipment they'd need to live there, in 40 years more the population would have doubled again, and then both Earth AND the moon would be full.

If we found a way to instantly transport people to other planets, in 80 years we'd have 4 planets full.

In 120 years, 8 planets would be full.
In 160 years, 16 planets.
then 32.
then 64
128
256
512
1024

By the year 5,000 A.D. every single planet in the entire universe would be full of humans.

Unless of course, we slow down our population growth.

Answer 5

At the current rate of population growth we would use up all livable space and resources in 100, not 1000 years. That won't happen though because technology will make colonization of the solar system easy in 50 to 100 years. Robots will go and build colonies and humans will go there to live in comfortable, safe space ships like we now go anywhere we want in jet airliners. In addition, cerebral implants will allow us to live much (or all) of our lives in a cyber world as real as the one we live in now where we can have all the simulated sex we could ever want with out any danger of procreation With that alternative, population growth will drastically fall way off within 50 years.

Answer 6

We are already out of "space," meaning "elbow room" on earth, and we are beginning to suffocate in our own exhaust gasses.

And there is no way to live on the moon or any other place, and there is not enough metal left on earth to build spacecraft to transport people to any other place fast enough to make a difference.

We're toast, actually. We could do something about it, still, but the solutions all involve greedy people changing into people who are not greedy, and I don't foresee that happening.

Sorry. Actually I'm in a pretty cheerful mood, anyway. Our best bet is to do the best we can and try to help the greedy people understand that if they starve and poison everybody, they can't be rich any more.

Hope for the best.

Answer 7

In 1000 years?? Don't look now, but the planet has been badly overloaded for the last hundred years.
The Moon might be workable, but it would take a huge amount of engineering.

Answer 8

Nope..its barren rock with no atmosphere and very little gravity...the daytime temperatures reach 200 celcius and night time tempertures are -200 celcius...not ideal conditions to sustain life.
