Lunar Base

A lunar base is a human-made settlement established on the Moon, designed to support long-term scientific research, exploration, and possibly resource extraction. It would consist of habitats for astronauts, life-support systems, laboratories, and facilities for generating power and processing materials. Such a base enables studies of the lunar environment, testing of technologies for future space missions, and exploration of Moon resources like water ice. Developing a lunar base is a step toward sustained human presence beyond Earth, advancing our understanding of space and helping prepare for missions to Mars and beyond.
