From the Moon with love

Being the closest celestial body puts the moon in a unique position to help take on the excesses of the population of Earth. A possible colonization of the moon has already been discussed with many nations working out the possibility of setting up a permanent station on the moon. It could be expanded to entail a full colony complete with families and schools some time in the future.

A solution to the problem of feeding the teeming population of the planet, could be to grow more crops out of this world. In fact the moon would be a likely candidate for this operation. The oxygen rich soil on the moon could be irrigated and used under contraptions like the green houses that are currently used on the planet.

Another ambitious project dubbed the Lunar Ring is hoping to generate electricity in the area around the moon and then beam it back to earth for use. The company planning this exercise is ambitious enough to imagine that the Lunar Ring would be able to handle the energy crisis currently facing the planet.

The moon has always featured in science experiments  and science fantasy as being the solution of Earth’s problems, but just how true that is will have to be seen as time goes by.
