Building Lunar Colonies

摘要

Some of the new discoveries about the moon could pertain to the building of colonies there someday so that man may live, study, and/or launch shuttles from the lunar surface. This has been a dream of mankind's for centuries, and now. with new technology, scientists believe that this dream may soon come true. Should this occur, we could use the bases as refueling stations for shuttles on interplanetary missions, mining stations, vacation destination, or just plain home sweet home. It could also be a possible source of some minerals that could be used on earth or on the moon to prevent unnecessary hauling from the earth to the moon. It could also be the origin of new fuel sources.
