      When there is Hawaii to live? I don’t think so! It’s all about location, location, location! Moon might have a gorgeous view (if you are in the right side!) but 24hours of darkness, no thanks 🙂

      To be serious, I think that countries dropped the moon discovery plan because there is not much to survive on in Moon. We live where we can replicate, we need water, minerals, air… Moon is a no no, but I think we will live on other planets one day.

      I don’t think so…I think it would be too difficult to create a proper environment (oxygen, water) for us to live in…

      Perhaps we might try to but I’m not sure whether we would ever be successful. We would have to cope with severely reduced gravity which would have implications for our muscles and the rest of our body- we would have to live in a tightly regulated, synthetic atmosphere and we would have no Earth-like landscape to use as a resource. I wonder what the psychological consequences of all this would be! It would be a huge struggle with many problems to overcome- would it be worth it?

      Moving to another planet is a massive deal and not easy at all. Life on earth has been evolving and adapting to earths conditions for millions of years, so leaving and living in a different environment would be tough for us.

      However all we need is warmth, food, water and air. If we can get all that to the moon then there is no reason we couldn’t live there.
