Building a Base on The Moon

By Alex Lisin

Making a base on the moon would be surprisingly easy because we have the

money, materials, and a well thought out plan but we DON’T BUILD IT because NASA

is saving all their money to go to Mars, while there are constant advantages like a radio

on its far side of the moon that could observe space without the earth's electromagnetic

interference interfering, also a moon base would be a first step towards colonizing

different planets and living on them, and the smaller gravitational pull (you know like

how you bounce around a bunch on the moon because you weigh less) would require

less fuel to escape the atmosphere allowing for bigger ships and more cargo. Alot of

advantages towards colonizing the moon. But here is how, and why we should, and

CAN build a base on the moon.

Getting food over to the base it would be sort of hard but not THAT hard. So the

first step for food, would be to compact and dehydrate dinners so they would be light

and compact so it would be easy to transport them you would send them over with a

rocket ship with various other items. The second step would be to create a greenhouse

because that could sustain us for a lot longer than just sending over dehydrated packets

of food because that takes up very expensive rocket fuel. Along with the food, we must

get water over, but while it may weigh more than the food and we would have to freeze

it to transport it but luckily the moon has ice water on it, so we can take it, melt it in the

base and drink it!

 Along with food, protection is one of the most important things living on the

moon, one of the main problems is space junk or asteroids because if they rain down

there is no atmosphere to burn them up so they fall at supersonic speeds down to the

surface, there is really no protection if you are outside the base except if you are in a

rover that has a lot of protection but if we make the base walls think enough we can

repel the falling objects. Along with asteroids and space junk, radiation on the moon is

bad because it damages the cells in your body giving headaches, stomach aches, fever,

and in extreme cases, death. There is radiation on the moon because the suns solar

flares can reach it because it does not have a strong atmosphere, so it causes radiation

and it is very dangerous. Placement of the moon base can be very critical because on

one pole of the moon it has constant night and one pole has only day so that can be

very good for solar energy and if we place it in the wrong stop it might be constant

bombardments of space junk or asteroids.

Living on the moon you would have to exercise daily because the muscle

deterioration in your arms and legs would catch up to you because everything would

weigh less and the reason you don’t have to do this on earth because the constant

gravity of the earth is pulling on your legs so it keeps them strong. Sleeping on the

moon might be hard because of low gravity but you would eventually get used to it, but

of course, you would have to be strapped in lightly so you wouldn't float away. During

meal would take a dehydrated meal and rehydrate it and eat it.

So that’s how we would build, get food, and live on the moon I don’t know why

NASA is not building a base on the moon while there are clear advantages including

mining, science, and space exploration.
