94. In the future when we visit, how long will we stay? A day? A week? Longer? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Jump to: navigation, search

The earliest travelers to the Moon will only stay for very short periods, probably days to weeks. If we continue to develop and expand our capabilities, it's possible to envision six-month or one-year stays as we develop our protections against cosmic and solar radiation. In the future some people will be born and live their entire lives on the Moon. Folks from Earth will go to the Moon on business trips, vacations and just move there to live. They will take their families along just as they do on Earth.
