The colony must provide everything that an orbiting Space Station must provide, except that the special toilets needed for Zero-G on the Space Station should not be necessary and more normal toilets could be used.
Once you have a moon, it is yours. It is already colonised.
so at night animals cant sneak up on us if we are outside cause we can see them
i believe it will be in my lifetime..
To us? Nothing. Except we might be more likely to colonize it.
After setting up a sustained colony, we could mine the resources to use as chemical rocket fuel. Create a refining complex for metals. We could create manufacturing facilities to transfer some of our launch needs from Earth to the moon. We could create launch sites, since it would be easier to reach escape velocity from the surface of the moon than the surface of Earth. Many, many things. Far more than I can think of with my limited imagination.
Your question needs clarification -- is there whatone the moon.
No. While the moon plays an essential role to life on Earth, it is not the source of it.
For the existence of life oxygen and water are essential and both are absent on moon.
NASA is not sending astronauts anywhere except Earth orbit. There are no plans to colonize the moon, nor is there a rational reason to do so, nor is it economically feasible to do.
no. there is no atmosphere on the moon and fire needs oxygen to burn.
This is because the Moon needs to be blocking the source of light provided to us, this source is the Sun. The 'new moon' is the first phase where there is almost no visible moon. The 'full moon' is where you can see the whole moon. To cause a solar eclipse, the moon needs to be in the line of the Earth and the Sun, and to cause a Lunar eclipse, the Earth needs to be in the line of the Sun and the Moon. Sun-Moon-Earth = Solar Eclipse Sun-Earth-Moon = Lunar Eclipse
there is no oxygen on the moon, therefore, a fire could not start because in the fire triangle, (the materials needed to start a fire) the fire needs oxygen, which the moon does not have, fuel, and heat.
