Permanent colony on moon is the future.
For
- Water which is found to be most essential part of the planet earth is found to be present on moon- a recent study showed.
- Because of moon’s proximity to the earth, it is seen as a prime location for permanent colonization of humans, by humans.
- Due to advancement in technology it has become possible to visit moon from time to time. It has also been found that it is filled with abundant material and rocks which can be used for colonization.
- It is also seen that the energy required to move materials from earth to moon is lower than the other bodies.
- Most of the resources are getting over and in thick of things the humans have to shift its base to another more suitable environment for their survival. So, colonization on the moon is definitely on the cards.
Against
- The low gravity on moon could prove to be detrimental in human’s health.
- Colonization on moon will be way too expensive and way to difficult.
- Moon lacks a substantial environment i.e. its environment is different from that of earth in many aspects and it will be really complicated for man to make suitable conditions, to survive on moon.
- The lack of atmosphere also increases the chances of moon to be hit by meteorite. Its also faces many difficult challenges in the process of growing crops.
Discussion

INTRODUCTION:
- The colonization of the moon is the proposal establishment of permanent human communities on the moon. Permanent human habitation on a planetary body other than Earth is one of the science fiction shown in movies. As advancement in human technology, it’s been easy for human beings to go on moon from time to time.
- Recent study showed that water is found on the moon, so the argument that space colonization is achievable, gained momentum. As moon is in our nearest vicinity, it is seen as the most obvious place where humans can make their settlement in near future.
- There are two reasons which might attract human beings towards lunar. First of all, it’s the water that is found on moon and additionally, the moon’s axis of rotation is sufficiently close to being perpendicular to the ecliptic plane that the radius of the moon’s polar circles is less than 60km.
For:
- On our planet Earth, most of the resources are getting depleted, due to many reasons such as tremendous increase in population, increase in industrialization, etc, which can make human beings to shift their location on the moon. As human beings think that moon is the safest place in universe for their survival in near future.
- Due to low gravity on moon, it could be easy for us to lift things easily and the energy required to do it will be very less. We can transmit things easily on moon.
- Water found on moon, is the best part, which made scientists to think about colonization on moon.
Against:
- The lack of substantial atmosphere for insulation results in temperature extremes and makes the moon surface conditions somewhat like a deep vacuum. The lack of atmosphere increases the chances of hitting the colony by a meteor.
- Establishing a colony on moon could be very expensive.
- Growing crops on moon would be a challenge for the people who may live in colonies on moon in near future.
- One of the less obvious difficulties would be about conflicts between nations of getting rights about colony on lunar.
Conclusion:
- Personally, I think that colonization on Moon is going to be a great challenge for human beings as they may face many problems from national, political or natural aspects which may make them to destroy moon. However, we can make new technologies to get adapted to the atmospheric conditions on moon.
