A 260 foot deep hole has been discovered on the moon and scientists believe it extends outward in a 1200 foot tunnel that would be the ideal place to house a lunar colony...

The tunnel is believed to have been carved by lava flowing underground. The tunnel would provide protection from deadly cosmic rays that astronauts living on the moon have to be shielded from...

Lava tunnels have long been thought to exist on the moon, but this is the first evidence of an actual tunnel. Nasa is now planing to take a closer look to see if they can find more...

Save our planet earth and invest money here to expand resources, fight global warming, stop wars and tackle over-population.
Then we will never need a lunar colony. Or a Mars colony for that matter.

So by the same token does that mean we never should have moved across the planet and colonized North America?

Taking it a step further maybe we should make a law that says no one is allowed to go more than a mile from the spot they were born???

Sorry, but I totally disagree with what you're saying - we went to the moon and the technology that got us there gave us a LOT more than just the right to say we went there...

The fact that you're even reading this is because we developed the technology to go to the moon (you wouldn't be using your computer if we'd never gone to the moon) the same thing applies to the technology we have in medicine today...

I don't know about you, but living in the "stone-age" isn't something I would really want to do for the rest of my life...

I never really though of it in the way you brought up... it's very interesting and changes my views. :P

That's fascinating. I guess protection is already available for the astronauts. Hopefully their search is successful and they can make some more new discoveries.

That is a nice thought, but the moon is unsuitable for colonization.

Changing the moon would definitely impact Earth. Is it really a smart idea to colonize there?
