The race is on to return astronauts to the Moon. This time, not to just plant a flag, but to colonize. How would we accomplish this? And why would we do it?
Private companies and government space programs are vying to create the rockets and machines to get us there. Not just to visit. To stay. Some want to mine the lunar soil for untold riches, including a natural resource that could power Earth’s electrical grids for centuries. Others want to try out technologies and techniques that could someday be used to create a colony on Mars. But the Moon is a hostile world. Cosmic rays, moonquakes and meteors are a constant threat to survival. Discover how today’s scientists and engineers are about to take the next giant leap for mankind by colonizing the Moon.
