The new moon race?
The idea of colonizing the moon was very popular during the time of the Cold War. But in the mid - 1970s such projects by the Soviet Union and the United States had been suspended, as travel to the moon had enormous costs and had no concrete purpose.
But half a century later, the dream of the moon's population has returned.
Many scientists believe that expanding space is a logical step that drives mankind's development.
Sooner or later, Earth will be “filled” and the needs will be great for carrying on the moon, Mars or other planets of our solar system.
Moon colonization will also give humanity an opportunity to extract valuable minerals.
There's very little Helium 3 on Earth, but there's a lot on the moon. Furthermore, a large number of governments have expressed willingness to send satellites to extract the rare Helium 3 mineral, reports “Sputnik International” Transmission Periscope.
The possibility of transferring intensive energy production to the moon to reduce industrial emissions on Earth in the distant future has also been expressed by a number of researchers.
There is no atmosphere or magnetic field in the moon. Its surface is occasionally hit by micrometers, until one day the temparature can reach up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit [200 ° C].
A space station in the orbit of the moon is considered a logical step on the road to lunar colonization.
The United States, Russia and China have stressed the readiness for this project to be implemented between 2025 and 2030.
Technical details are expected to be presented this year. Work in orbit of the moon will begin in 2024./Periscopi/
