In fact, as a science blogger, this editor can say very responsibly: In 2022, the lives that ordinary people enjoy, such as blowing air conditioners, mobile Internet access, and taking planes, are things that ancient emperors have never enjoyed. The reason why humans can have such a convenient life is industrial civilization. The development of industrial civilization means that energy needs to be consumed continuously: such as coal, oil, , natural gas, , which are constantly consumed every day.
Let's assume that there is a day when these energy sources on the earth have been mined, and new energy is not enough to support the current development of mankind. This means that human civilization may really go backwards. Therefore, in order to develop, human beings have set their sights on the "Sea of Stars".
The moon is undoubtedly the first stop for human development.
1. The advantages of the moon
Modern science has proved that there are many mineral resources on the moon. This is a very important treasure house for humans. For humans, the moon has the following advantage: that is, it is very close. After all, the moon is Earth's satellite. If a base can be established on the moon and then mining or even concentrate the nuclear waste on the earth on the moon, it will be much more realistic than landing on Mars and landing on Venus.
In fact, not only nuclear waste is available on the earth, but other waste disposal has always been a headache for the environmental protection academic community. Generally speaking, people are used to treating waste through incineration. However, dioxins are often produced during incineration. If dioxin is discharged in the air, it will cause harm to people's health. If humans can reduce the cost of landing on the moon, the moon can be both a mining base and an emission site for various waste products.
2. The necessity of a lunar base
Of course, the future development trend of mankind is not only to land on the moon, but also to mine resources on the moon. As long as the earth-like planets in the entire solar system exist, as long as the minerals needed by the earth civilization are needed, they are all mines for the earthlings. And the construction base on the moon is just the beginning of all this. As the saying goes, "If a room does not sweep, how can the world be swept away?" If humans cannot land on the moon at the bridgehead of conquering the universe, how can they talk about operating Mars, operating , Pluto , and managing Charon and Enceladus in the future?
Therefore, building a base on the moon is the first stop for mankind to move towards the universe, and it is also a must-pass path.
3, test site
At the same time, humans must be mentally prepared to leave the earth. Because not only will the Earth become unsuitable for living organisms one day in the future, because objective development factors become unsuitable for living organisms, but even the solar system may be destroyed. When the sun reaches a certain lifespan, the sun will lose its attributes as a star, and then the sun will swallow up the surrounding planets. This includes the earth. Therefore, for humans, leaving the earth in the future is far from enough. We must also consider leaving the solar system and developing in other planets and galaxies suitable for human life. Even one day in the future, details of alien invasions in movies and TV series will indeed be staged. It is not enough. The person who plays aliens may be the Earthlings.
Of course, it is not realistic to expect to find a planet that is completely similar to the earth. Therefore, if the earthlings want to continue civilization, they need to experiment: how to transform other planets and make other planets suitable for human life. And the moon is undoubtedly such a test field. If humans can transform the moon and make it suitable for human habitation, then we can continue to transform other planets.
Therefore, building a base on the moon is a necessary path for human civilization and an escape path.
