Can We Build a Moon Base? I Asked Experts.

#TheMoon is our closest neighbor, cold, dead and silent. Could we actually survive there? I asked a couple of experts!

Landing on the moon was an achievement celebrated all over the world. The Apollo astronauts were the first to realize the power of a visit to our largest satellite, but could we all one day have a chance to visit the moon?

The SpaceX Launch changed how we looked at space. JPL is sending robots to Mars. Eventually we are going to go back to the Moon, but whereas last time we visited for a day a time, now we're talking about forming a permanent #lunarbase! Could we ACTUALLY live there? Could we REALLY survive? I called Ariel Waldman and Pascal Lee to get their take.

Can we #LiveOnMars? Can we build a #LunarColony? Should we leave this solar system entirely? What would we need to visit another star? Can humans survive out there in the emptiness of space? I answer all these questions and more in my new science and technology series all about #leavingearth! New episodes every other day all week!

National Research Council's report :: The Scientific Context for Exploration of the Moon
Looking beyond the several lunar robotic missions to be flown by 2008 (by the international community), science goals need to be articulated for early decisions about system design and operations planning for later robotic and human activities on the Moon. For a longer-range human presence on the Moon, the scope of science is potentially broader, including extensive field studies and sampling, plus the emplacement or assembly and the maintenance and operation of major equipment on the lunar surface

Researchers are 3D-Printing Fake Moon Dust Into Useful Hardware
https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/researchers-are-3d-printing-fake-moon-dust-into-useful-hardware 
To support a potential, future lunar base, researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) have 3D-printed and baked fake moon dust into screws, gears, and even a coin.

Bricks have been 3D printed out of simulated moondust using concentrated sunlight – proving in principle that future lunar colonists could one day use the same approach to build settlements on the Moon.

How to build a moon base

Half a century after humans first walked on the moon, a number of private companies and nations are planning to build permanent bases on the lunar surface. Despite the technological progress since the Apollo era, this will be extremely challenging. So how should you get started?
