Some people are REALLY hoping to find water ice on the moon in quantities great enough to use the moon as a base for space exploration. It may be a long shot, but it is not out of the question.

Humans could potentially live on the moon with the proper technology and infrastructure. However, there are currently numerous challenges such as lack of atmosphere, extreme temperatures, and radiation that need to be addressed before humans could establish a sustainable presence on the moon.

Yes it is possible with all the right equipment/provisions etc.

Please click on "Live on the moon" under "Related links" below.
No. It would be impossible to live there in the open. No air (you couldn't breathe) no air pressure (your blood would boil instantly) and either temperatures hotter than boiling water, or as cold as liquid nitrogen. That said . . .

In a properly designed habitat, yes, man could live and work on the moon. He would be restriced to the habitat, of course, and there would be that pesky problem of only 1/6th earth's gravity, but it would be possible, and has been written about in that fashion for many years now.

YES there can be fire on the moon but it can't be a natural fire because there is nothing on the moon to burn and no source to burn it. There can be fire on the moon if someone brought a flamable material to then moon and burned it but it would no last long.

No, first the moon has no plant life or water so it is not capable of sustaining human life & second the moon has no atmosphere whatsoever, so it could never have a greenhouse affect, or hold oxygen; two things that earth can that help us live here.

It could be possible though-you would need a shuttle with the right amount of oxygen nitrogen and helium levals and ect.. then you could grow plants using windows in your shuttle to let sun light in.

The only way to live on the moon would be to take an artificial atmosphere with us - either by constructing airtight shelters or by somehow making caves underground and sealing them off so the air would not escape. There is no air on the moon and no way to keep it there otherwise. It would just leak away into space because the moon does not have enough gravity for an atmosphere.

Yes, almost certainly. (And it isn't as though scientists thought there was no water; it was that we didn't know, and didn't expect it to be on the surface.)

What would conditions be like on the moon for humans?

The Apollo 8 astronauts described the moon as very inhospitable. The moon has no way to support humans, Everything man needs to live must be carried with him when he goes into space, that includes the moon. The astronauts who walked on the moon could feel the cold in the lunar shadows. They also felt the heat of the sun through theid suits.


Why can humans live on the moon?

Humans cannot currently live on the moon without significant life support systems. The moon lacks a breathable atmosphere, protection from harmful radiation, and extremes in temperature that make it uninhabitable for humans without proper technology and infrastructure.
