Lunar Settlement

A lunar settlement is a human habitat built on the Moon’s surface, designed to support life for extended periods. It involves constructing habitats that protect inhabitants from harsh conditions like extreme temperatures, radiation, and micrometeoroids. These settlements aim to enable scientific research, resource extraction (such as lunar ice for water and fuel), and potentially serve as a stepping stone for deeper space exploration. Advances in technology, such as 3D printing with lunar materials and closed-loop life support systems, are critical for making sustained lunar habitation feasible.
