A green place of trees and air, houses, animals, lakes, etc..

poornakumar b say: No it can t be.

Sciencenut say: They are making electricity to power thousands of homes using the massive tides in the Bay of Fundy off of the coast of Maine. So the Moon is already usable, to make the tides, and thus electricity.
-
Acetek say: You would have to build massive domes.
Another thought would be surround the lMoon with an energy shield that both keeps solar radiation out and hold an atmosphere in. then you would have to fertilize the ground to the point that life could grow.
I might had that domes are a bad idea as they will be subject to meteor impact. So you will still need a force shield of some kind to kept out the bad stuff

D g say: It's too small to hold an atmosphere so any living quarters would be artificial environments like spacecraft.
-
ignoramus say: It can't. It's a barren rock. The idea is totally ridiculous.

Brigalow Bloke say: Plants do not grow when there is ~384 hours of darkness followed by ~384 hours of light. You would have to make the Moon spin on it's axis faster by a factor of about 28 to get a day-night cycle compatible with plants. So domes on the surface do not work.
-
Athena say: Build underground with pressure domes on top for growing food.
-
someg say: Well, we could redecorate the studio...

timespiral say: It took Earth billions of years to achieve what it has today. We have to chip away at making small steps that build upon previous work rather than joy rides to the Moon. The Moon offers no protections from radiation. Any long term plan for life on the Moon is going to have to address this problem. Life including humans are going to have a tough go of it. However, if we use AI robotic systems to build bases either in Moon caves or 3D printing then there would be a place for humans. Ideally, as much of the resources needed for survival should be created on the Moon. This won't be possible initially, but it is what should be the goal if a permanent manned presence in deep space is the goal. Sometimes I think we put the cart before the horse. Our robotic systems should lead the way before we start putting humans in deep space. Use those robotic spacecraft to build a base first. Mars offers a place more similar to Earth than the Moon. On Mars, anywhere you go, you can process CO2 air and get O2. You can't do that on the Moon. And Mars has underground water in lower latitudes.
