If they had kept going after reaching the moon, i feel like by now, we would’ve developed the technology to establish a colony on the moon. So why stop?
In: Planetary Science
We have the technology to develop a colony on the moon. Certainly there’s a few novel practical engineering tasks but nothing about it requires any breakthroughs. We know how to build habitats in airless voids and the moon is basically that with a floor.
No the question you should be asking is why do it in the first place. You seem to be under the impression a moon colony is desirable.
Why do you think that?
A moon colony is of no benefit really and is colossally expensive. Like more expensive than all space travel, ever, put together. And it doesn’t do anything.
