Us humans have always been curious about “what’s beyond the limits of Earth?”, “how can we ever get beyond that limit?”. When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first landed on the moon, everyone in the world had hope about someday being able to not only colonize the Moon but more. For scientists, futurists and private aerospace companies the idea of colonizing the Moon has never been the “if” but the “when” and “how”. For some establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon is a matter of destiny while for others is a matter of survival. Even though, on Earth we have the benefit of having natural resources that help us live fully, these natural resources won’t work in outer space. Finding the right resources to live permanently on the Moon will be a difficult task but in the near future these resources may be easier to find.
