Pros And Cons Of Colonization Of Moon

The moon should not be colonized. To start off with, going to the moon is a waste of money and resources. We should use the money on other things around the world. . Next, we cannot maintain plants on the moon. We will die very easily. Lastly, There is very little sun on the moon so solar panels will be useless. Without solar panels it will be very difficult to get energy. The moon is not fit for people/humans to live on it. To begin with, according to Colonization of the Moon, “the lack of an atmosphere increases the chances of the colony being hit by meteor.” Second, A higher meteor chance is not the only thing that is dangerous on the moon. Moon dust is also very dangerous to the humans because it destroys inefficient structures on the moon. According to the article, “the lack of a substantial atmosphere for insulation results in temperature extremes and makes the Moon's surface conditions somewhat like a deep space vacuum.” Going on, The moon has cosmic rays on it and it can make a person have severe health issues. The moon also
Starting off, according to Vitanna, “growing crops on the Moon faces many difficult challenges due to the long lunar night.” The lunar night is 354 hours long and will be hard to grow the plants with no light. For a plant to survive, it has to photosynthesize and with little to no light, it can not do that. Plants however can be grown on the moon. It has to have artificial light to make it grow though. Consequently, according to the source, “extreme variation in surface temperature.” The moon has a very wide range of temperatures. Trying to keep a plant alive with negative temperatures to high temperatures in minutes is very difficult. Third of all, Vitanna says, “lack of insects for pollination.” Plants all around the world depend and rely on pollination and insects. The insects are the ones who pollinate and without pollination a plant cannot
