I have been following the ESA (European Space Agencies) plans to build a multi-national community on the moon. Along with other space agencies, including NASA, their plans are to have different major nations take part in separate parts of the project, that will all come together as one.
This could be our first place to live outside of Earth!
Gigantic 3-D printers would be used to build the establishment, and they are also working on a way to use the moon's resources to help do this.
They are calling this a "Moon Village", but not in the sense that we know here on Earth, with separate housing, and stores, and the such. It would be a community all in one. People and Robots would work together in establishing the community, working on projects such as pure science possibly even business ventures like mining or tourism.
So, why do all this? Because from the beginning of mankind we have been forgers of travel, and migration. We have spread around the World, and we have never stopped to venture into new territories, new businesses, new ways to help mankind. But, this wouldn't just allow for all of that. It would also combine nations, normally at odds, in creating a globally unifying epicenter for our future, and the safety of mankind and our amazing little blue planet! From the moon we can protect Earth from future cataclysmic events, such as asteroids or comets. We could test new ways for the human body to withstand living on other planets and destinations in space, and would allow us to be closer to travelling outside of our galaxy one day.
Robots could probably do all of this for us, but why not send humans, who can push for better relations with other nations, by working together. The United States would have the biggest issue with this however, due to their lack of willingness to partcipate with China in anything at this point.
The major nation's space agencies would have to include European countries, the UK, America, China, Russia, and Japan for sure.
The ESA would love to see humans on the moon by 2030, which would have our youngest and unborn at the perfect ages to be the first to be involved in such a project.
But, will they be willing? I have spoken with my own children about this possibility in the near future for them, and they in now way want to be involved in living in Space, which for me has been a life-long dream. Boy, would I love to join Stephen Hawking, or Elon Musk, or Richard Branson on a little trip to the moon, or Mars for that matter.
Is society becoming so lax, and life so enjoyable with the power of computers and electronics changing our lives, and ways of experiencing life? Are children not attuned to as much as we once were, with much less news in our faces all day before the 90's computer revolution? Children now have everything at their grasp, and are being spoiled from the day of birth by parents who want to be different from how they were raised, by putting success in our children's laps without trying. How about those sports and dance awards they hand out to every kid at the end of a season. Is this really helping our kid's futures, and their drive to improve in what they can accomplish themselves, and in education?
Once upon a time, humans couldn't stop improving, or migrating, so why stop now.
I'm not exaclty sure how clearly children these days understand their futures with improvements in medicine, gene editing, and in space. They will live longer lives as time advances, and scientists continue to find ways to lengthen our lives, rid the world of diseases, and even turn our biological clocks backwards. Aren't they going to be the lucky ones!
Geting back to the Moon Project. Other plans include exploring parts of the moon we have never seen, especially including the poles, where we could possibly find evidence of life if the conditions are appropriate.
Using the Sun for solar power would also be a huge project, and finding ways to improve life on Earth as well. Currently scientists are creating a way to harness the Sun's energy. They are also looking into propelling spaceships further into space with the EM Drive, which is a whole different story, and with FRB's, which are Fast Radio Bursts. Over 234 of these bursts have been obtained over the last ten years, and astronomists are just about positive, due to where they are originating, and their incredible power, that these are either differnt types of Alien radio signals, or they may be harnessing the radio waves to thrust their ships all around space, as well as harnassing their own stars' energy.
These two brothers all suited up for exploration are actually NASA Astronauts now. We need to get more children interested in space, like these guys were. Especially more women and minorities would be a huge plust to space exploration!

They are Gerry Heymsfield, and Andy Heymsfield. Of course, most of us know about the twin brother astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly. Scott having been the first to spend over a year in the ISS (International Space Station), and is now undergoing studies to show how his body has changed in comparison to his brother's.
These times are just the tip of the iceberg in Space Expolration, and the eventuality of humans living in Sapce, and on other planets. In fact, check out this link! https://asgardia.space/en/

You can join the Asgardia Space Nation, which envisions a floating Space Station like you might see on Star Trek, with a diverse poplution living as one! I have obtained my citizenship already, if I am still around when and if it comes to fruition! Get yours now, if this is your lifetime dream, as well.
Don't stop hoping, don't stop growing, don't stop improving, and never give up on life, or our future as a Globally United Society.
