Moon Colonization for Human civilization: Theoretical Overview

Abstract

Space colonization or space settlement or extra-terrestrial colonization is hypothetical permanent habitation and exploitation of natural resources from outside spaceflight or operating space outputs. The primary argument calling for space colonization is the long-term survival of human civilization and terrestrial life. By developing alternative locations off Earth, the planet’s species, including humans, could live on in the event of natural or human made disasters on our own planet. Colonizing a natural body would provide an ample source of material for construction and other uses in space, including shielding from cosmic radiation. The energy required to send objects from the Moon to space is much less than from Earth to space. The objective of this paper is to study the basic requirements and environment and issues (medical and technical) to face while colonizing the moon. Its base, sides of the moon, soil,gravity requirements, water form particles, etc. This paper also presented the internal structure of the Moon, its design criteria, gravitation, challenges, risk/safety, etc.
