Episode 35 — Living on the Moon — of Stories from Space is Now Live!
We come to it at last! The first installment of a new segment on my podcast series, titled “Settling the Solar System” (or “the Great Migration”) has just aired. In this episode, I started with our nearest celestial neighbor and the first stop for any migration beyond Earth — the Moon. Human beings will be returning there soon. Only this time, we plan to leave more than “footprints and flags.”
This time, we plan to build the necessary infrastructure that will allow for ongoing exploration and development. That means creating lunar habitats, resource exploration (and exploitation), commercial missions, and lunar tourism. If all goes as planned, these efforts could even lead to a permanent lunar settlement. The challenges are legion, but they are surmountable given enough time, money, strategies, and a long-term commitment. Have a listen to find out!
