Building a Home on the Moon

Develop a practical framework for planning a long-term human settlement on the Moon. Examine life support, radiation protection, energy, food and water supplies, medical care, maintenance, and the psychological effects of isolation and confinement. Explain which challenges could be addressed with local resources and which would still depend on Earth. Compare lessons from remote research stations and other isolated environments, and identify the most important design choices, risks, and unanswered questions.
