- It's FINALLY Happening! NASA Is Building A $100BN City On The Moon!
the race to the moon is back on and in full swing and it has to do with the fact that large amounts of water have been confirmed in the moon's Southern pole. NASA’s Artemis program aims to take lunar exploration to the next level by landing the first woman and next man on the Moon’s South Pole in 2024. But that’s not all. The program also aims to establish sustainable exploration on the Moon by the decade’s end. To achieve this, NASA has developed the Artemis Base Camp concept, which includes permanent lunar cabins, and even lunar vehicles for transport on the moon.

Lunar surface exploration will continue, but settlements of any (relative) size will have to go underground; the hard radiation on the surface is huge and unavoidable, but lunar dirt is a great shield.
I love this! Wonderfully marvelous!
Much hype and misinformation.
Artemis has no funding or mandate for anything beyond the first "Apollo-style" landing, which leaves nothing of use for the future.
I'll be among the first to say that we should have (should for decades have had) a permanent, continuously inhabited presence on the Moon.
Note carefully that I didn't say "city", "colony", or "settlement".
There's endless rubbery terminology, especially in tabloid-level talk, between a base or even an initial crewed landing, and a "colony".
We've had people continuously on Antarctica for decades, but it is not a "colony" to which people will retire to live out their lives or raise children.
Nor should anybody say that we shouldn't be doing it, or insist that it must have economic financial returns to justify it or have it "pay its own way".
The Moon in no way is a "stepping stone", "staging base", or "pit stop" or fueling depot on the way to Mars or anywhere else.
Even if there were tanks of refined fuel sitting on the surface at the Lunar equator, it would cost more in fuel and rocketry to get down to it and back up to interplanetary trajectories to go anywhere else.
This isn't a matter of developing technology, it's fact of orbital mechanics.
As has been said, a Lunar base is a stumbling block or speed bump on the way to Mars. Saying that we must have a fully developed Lunar base or worse shipyard or economy before going on to Mars only serves to indefinitely postpone going to Mars.
The Moon is not a good source of materials for anything off the Moon. The Moon is called the slag-pile of he Solar system because its best "resources" are about what an asteroid miner would toss out as not worth processing any further.
If there were concrete in one of those permanently shadowed Lunar polar craters, they'd prefer to mine it for its superior water content.
We know of 400 NEAs which are easier to get to/from than the Moon. 40 or so easier than Lunar orbit. We know of 10k+ "Apollo" group NEAs. minus a little chunk of gravel over Chelyabinsk in 2013: Denser with metals than Earth's crust or the entire Moon on average.
Some asteroids are known from meteorites to be 40% volatiles by mass: H2O, CH4, NH3, lots of ketones and aldehydes and lots of complex almost organic tarry substances and PAH chemicals and tholins.
Other meteorites are density 8+, greater than pure iron. King Tut's rust-proof meteoritic steel dagger is 6% cobalt. NO mine on a planet or larger moon will ever work such resources.
Any talk of a colony or living permanently on the Moon or Mars must prove that we can live long-term and stay healthy in ow G. That's "proof", not S.F., not wishes and hopes that the question goes away and try it and see, not maybe in the future biomechanically altering ourselves.
Prove that first, and we can go on to talk about why space habitats or the O'Neill / Kalpana / Stanford Torus sort are still a better or the only option for long-term, large scale habitation off-Earth.
As of the 1970s NASA Ames / Stanford space settlement studies of the '70s (see them online), we know that there are (were) no new inventions needed to start mining moons and asteroids and to build for virtually Earth-like habitation anywhere in space where there are or to which we bring materials.
If we'd started in the '70s, by 2005 we'd have had the first habitat for ≈10k workers.
The projected for for the habitat and all the ground, launch, and in-space infrastructure to reproduce it or mine NEAs and build solar power satellites, was like many other large infrastructure or industrial developments down here. Like the Interstate Highway System, a large dam, or less than the Panama canal. Like 3 or 4 of our CVNs and their air wings, escorts and the logistics infrastructure to deploy them to fight over access to oil. Much less than the bailouts we've seen or a small oil war.
Variously around 3 or 4 times the Apollo program cost (for scale, during the time period of Apollo, the US spent as much on cosmetics and large States spent more on liquor.)
About 1.5x our annual DoD budget which is over 3/4 trillion $ a year. Since 2003 we've spent $14 trillion + on the military The Pentagon has catastrophically failed its audits and can't account for over half its assets. At least $300 billion of what we give them each year just goes away, and nobody asks where or why.
Today our annual DoD budget is greater than the entire historic running grand total NASA cost. Counting Apollo, the Shuttle, the ISS, and everything else NASA does, but not counting "black" military spending or ongoing military operational expenses, which are more and aren't in that voted DoD budget.
The International jurisdiction will become more complex & pressing as Resources competes with Exploration. The politics of it all as important as technological ability.
They are powerful I like
OH please America can't rebuild a bridge.
Let the Chinese build it, they'll have 200km of high speed moon rail up and running by Christmas. LOL
Sure they will...they can't get astronauts to and from the space station but a moon base, definitely...I'll bet Elon could.
Science fiction. There's no oxygen on the moon.
Silicon dioxide sand is 40% oxygen .
During the daylight when you have bright sunlight for heat and power; heat it to molten, apply electricity and you separate Si from O2.
5 MINS 10 SECONDS into vid !!!!! 10 kWh is not the average annual power consumption of a home here on Earth ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha , more like 20kWh a day for the average house on the western hemisphere. Or if you have an e.v. 200kWh a day, even more ha ha ha ha ha ha
10kWh a day maybe... its more like 2700kWh anually for a normal 2-3 bed house.
Everyones maths here is messed up horrifically...
And still, 80% of people and households on Earth don't have regular electricity or access to heat and light at night without burning biomass.
China is setting up camp on the "dark side" of the moon! Hopefully, NASA can explore with China on a new frontier! The odds could be better on the moon, by leaving the earth to speak for itself...
Impossible they need the money to the ukraine war.
LOL so true
