RSSWill we ever live on the moon?

Dear Wimble,
Do You Think It Will Be Possible To Ever Live On The Moon? If So When?
Four Rooms
Dear Four Rooms,
Ah, yes, the famous “moon” question. I have pondered this question many times. After years of doing this, I’ve finally determined whether it would be possible, or not.
Let me get my answer out of the way. Do I think it’s possible to ever live on the moon? To put it simply, yes. In fact, we could do it right now if we really wanted to. Why don’t we? Because it’d be really expensive and we all know how money controls the world. Now, I’m not talking a few billion dollars, I’m seeing more than the national debt (not just for one person). But let’s not go there.
Now that I got that out of the way, let’s think of how life would be on the moon. You would have to live in a little bubble for a house. (Not necessarily shaped that way). You would never be able to open the windows, because you would lose all of your air (which would have to be stored in tanks in your house, and you would have to pay a fortune to have air shipped from Earth to the Moon). You would have to walk to the store in a big suit since there’s no air to breathe. Oh, and a tether would be a good idea too, just in case you happened to jump too high and start floating off into space.
Now that’s just a little of how life would be like on the moon. For me, I would never want to live that way. Never being able to see the trees and flowers and blue sky out of my window. Instead, it would be just gray dirt and black sky, 24/7/365 (or whatever the day cycle would be on the moon).
So, in the end, yes I do think it’s possible to live on the moon. When, right now if you’re felt the urge and could afford it. But for me, I’ll be keeping my feet on Earth for quite some time, at least until they get some sort of atmosphere up there.
Thanks for your question, and hope to hear from you again.
