The colonization of the moon is the first step for humankind to become and interplanetary species. It is the only logical choice, becauseof its close proximity to Earth. There will be many advantages if the colonization of the moon is success. The colonization will consist of three mission, each bringingmore humans to work in and support the base. The first mission will carry twenty-five people and will install the basic necessities. The first components to be installed would be the power plants and communication stools, as well as the habitats. Other components, such as laboratories, transportation devices, and ports would come later. The colonization of the moon would take around five years. Thesite of the colony is an important detail. It must be near many resources, especially oxygen, in order for the colony to advance as quickly as possible. The location must also have adequate topography for transportation. The moon's poles are the bestlocation for the lunar colony. There is evidence that there may be water near the polar regions . The poles are exposed to the sun for the majority of the time; this will allow the colony to be powered mainly by cheap, clean solar power. Thesignificantly less strength of gravity on the moon will have a great impact on the architecture of the moon. There will be less materials used than structures on the Earth use. The first basicbuildings will be tent like and block harmful rays from the sun. As more material are mined and collected, the building will increase in complexity. because of the lack of weather on the moon the structure will be able to reach greater heights with less materials. The living quarters in the colony will simulate the day and night pattern of the earth. Other aspects of d...

...l be self-sufficient. If planning goes according to schedule, the first mission will begin during the year 2012. The first mission will consist for building the basic infrastructure and establishing communications. Establishing a source of power and the mining of necessary chemicals will also occur. The purpose of thisfirst mission is to make sure that the colony is ready for long-term stability. The purpose of the next two mis sion will be to bring materials to add accessories to the lunar colony. This includes a laboratory, a greenhouse, a telescope and other structures of scientific purpose. The lunar colony would be completed during the year 2017.

A thousand people are being chosen for a new democracy on the moon in the year 2066. A citizenship is the status of a person who under the law is a legal member of a country. When people have a citizenship they are granted more privileges and are given more rights to them. If a person is not from a country they could be naturalized in order to get their hands on a citizenship. For this new unique civilization there would be a jurisdiction which would help when choosing people to join the civilization. In order to have a balance, six hundred and sixty responsible responsible citizens, one hundred and ninety participatory citizens, and one hundred and fifty justice oriented citizens will be admitted.

If human kind is to conquer the solar system and reach for the stars, we must first start closer to home. In such a situation, creating a colony on our nearest partner celestial body, the Moon, would create an ideal opportunity to learn and explore technical capabilities and human characteristics in space. On board, there would be plenty of science to do, plenty of fun to be had, and plenty of knowledge to learn. However, a lunar base of this kind of complexity can not just be slapped together; it must be designed and detailed beforehand to ensure a safe working environment for those inside and around the lunar base.
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” was stated by Neil Armstrong once a national goal was accomplished. Landing successfully on the moon was a major goal for astronauts of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin were honored to be the very first of mankind to step foot on the moon, and allowed America to set future goals for outer-space journeys. With the assigned Apollo mission, America was granted much needed hope. Astronauts of NASA in the Apollo Program accomplished John F. Kennedy’s goal of placing the first man on the moon safely for the United States.
During the early years of colonization and exploration in North America and Africa, many New World "collided" and brought to each other many new things, both good and bad. There were exchanges of ideas, products and crops that greatly advanced the cultures of all involved, but on the other hand, new diseases, and harsh treatment of one another were also present.
Did you ever think we should go to Mars? Well, we should colonize to Mars! My reasons are it’s a good back-up plan, it has many minerals and land, and we might even find something there, maybe even life! Let me explain my reasons.
As a country we need to start investing more money and research into space technology. Programs currently exist for this effort, but the potential for research and progress is limited by a lack of funding; compared to other government funded programs, aerospace funding is pitiful. Continued research in space technology is a necessary step in our growth and development not just as a country but also as entire human race. If we are to achieve this goal, it is necessary to increase funding for space research and technology and consider the possibility of colonizing outer space. If we limit our existence to the planet Earth, and continue to drain the resources on this planet, we will destroy the only home we have.
People are still arguing if the moon landing in 1969 was real or faked by the United States Of America. Some people think it was faked and if they are true this would be very embarrassing to America and NASA. Some think it was real because of some of the evidence they brought back supposedly from the moon's surface but this is my opinion.
With all the problems we have on earth and how much we don’t know about our own planet we shouldn’t be colonizing others. We may have the science but we don’t have the funds. We also have tons of willing people but not enough physically and mentally able to colonize a planet. Children are starving all around the world, People are homeless, and wars are starting. Humankind needs to achieve some sort of world peace before trying to explore space. Also, humans will end up destroying life if we try to colonize an
The Apollo program was a lunar program was launched in hopes to have the first humans step on the moon. Apollo programs, manned and unmanned would study the moon, and experiment until they could launch humans to the Moon and return them home safely. Apollo missions succeeded in lunar landing, but had major setbacks.
When the astronauts landed in the moon Neil A. Armstrong said the surface was like a powdered charcoal and the landing craft left a crater about a foot deep. Only Armstrong and Aldrin went on the moon. The men were on the moon for twenty-one hours but only on the moon's surface for two and a half hours. The first things Armstrong did was collect samples and take pictures (BBC). When Armstrong stepped on the moon he said this very famous quote, “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for
With more funding, NASA can build a manned base on the moon while finding a way to Mars. In going along with this plan, there will be more demand for scientists and engineers alike. Engineers will build the manned bases and vessels, while scientists occupy them and gather data to benefit the world. In this way, NASA will be able to see if it is possible to make Mars the next “Earth”, making plans to help make that reality if this does happen. “Through space exploration and innovative thinking, NASA has injected science and inspiration into our culture and projected us into the future”
The two biggest superpowers of the world were waging a war: a war of supremacy. Indeed, the U.S needed to beat its rival, the Soviet Union, to win the Cold War. Both nations wanted to be the first on the moon, therefore, the United States strived to win the Space Race and consequently have victory over the Cold War. Given these facts, the Space Race not only helped the Americans have advantage in the Cold War, but has also affected America to this day.
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” It was July 20 1969, the day that reshaped our nation and gave us unparalleled dreams for the future. The impact of the day goes far beyond our pride and nationalism; that day would change space exploration and technology forever. Just like a shooting star, that day would give us a glimpse of hope. A chance to see an event so breathtaking and defying, it would be man’s greatest accomplishment in the 20th century. As millions of people watched from their TV sets, a rush of euphoria came over the nation as Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the surface of the moon. It was the first time in the history of mankind that we would step on the surface of another celestial body. John F. Kennedy dared us to dream, he inspired the nation to reach for the moon, to set ourselves apart from the rest of the world. The Space Race was symbolic of many things. Our future as the technically dominate nation was secured in place; just as secure as Old Glory would be, when she was driven down into the soil of the moon. We not only reached the moon, we conquered it as a nation; united.
It happened on 1969,most of America was watching .im going to be talking about the moon landing that they say happened.some people think it did happen, but some people thought it has been,is all fake.if you do think its real or fake I would like you to read the rest of my case.
