Would you like to live on the moon?

[Bretrick]

NASA hopes that people will be living on the Moon before this decade is over.
Howard Hu, who leads the Orion lunar spacecraft programme for the agency, said habitats would be needed to support scientific missions.
"We're going to be sending people down to the surface and they're going to be living on that surface and doing science," Mr Hu said.

No. That is an adventure for young people. Living where simply going outdoors is a death sentence has no appeal for this Geezer.

 

[Flarbalard]

I never thought about it, but no I wouldn't want to live there. I can say there are a number of people I'd like to relocate there or farther away if possible.

 

[RadishRose]

As it is now? No.

Inside a bubble with familiar flora and fauna, water etc in a controlled climate, maybe.

But then, we're not really good with climate control, are we?

 

[hollydolly]

No..!! Actually there's parts of Spain that would be like living on the moon... I've been there.. it's alright for an hour or 2.. but there's no shops !

 

[Nathan]

No, the moon dust is horrible and hard to get off your boots. There's no wind though, so that's a plus.

 

[katlupe]

No, I have enough trouble living on earth but at least I am familiar with it.

 

[NorthernLight]

@katlupe I agree. Living on Earth is hard enough.

Will they have a Mall?

 

[Paco Dennis]

Will they have a Mall?

Yep, I think it opens next year sometime.

 

[Alligatorob]

Would you like to live on the moon?

No, too cold and dry for me...

Not till they find Dick Tracy's Moon Maid anyway.

 

[Bretrick]

Will they have a Mall?

The goss is there will be a mall coming in 2189. Get in early, real estate prices will moon rocket...

 

[timoc]

Well, I can't see Amazon sending a rocket from Earth every time I needed a parcel delivered.

 

[Alligatorob]

Just a couple of hours drive north of us.

[Wren]

No but I can certainly think of a few I’d like to send there !

 

[IKE]

I ain't lost a darn thing up there and I have no desire to go up lookin' for something.

So........

No..!! Actually there's parts of Spain that would be like living on the moon... I've been there.. it's alright for an hour or 2.. but there's no shops !

That was my impression when I was stationed there...arid, and mountainsides devoid of vegetation.

 

[MarkinPhx]

I have no desire. NASA is conducting tests with a lunar rover up in Northern Arizona outside of Flagstaff so I guess I can go there if I want to check out something similar and in much safer conditions

 

[Lara]

I read there's a Dish up there running away with the spoons...and I like spoons...so NO
Elon Musk would probably make me do all the work there or kick me off...so NO

And Creedance Clearwater blames the "Bad Moon" for everything, "it's a risin' to make trouble here,
earthquakes a blowin', lightnin', rivers over flowin', one eye is taken for one eye ...so NO!

lol..most of it isn't like that, but there are vast areas of Arid Mountanous regios.. The area where I have my home iin the Southern Costa Blanca.. is much more Arid than than the South west or the north.. despite being very mountainous everywhere

 

[Lewkat]

No. I happen to love milk, and that cow keeps jumping over it.

Not in this era. A better question for those alive a millennium in the future when dangers are long understood and designed out. The Moon has 1/6 our Earth gravity so extended periods on the Moon will have significant effects to our physical bodies that are barely understood. What we do know is some of the effects in low gravity like bone degeneration are unhealthy. Beyond a limited vacation experience, the Earth in comparison holds infinitely more interest for the creature.
