#TheMoon is our closest neighbor, cold, dead and silent. Could we actually survive there? I asked a couple of experts! 🌌LEAVING EARTH SERIES 🌌 Part 1: 🌍 We have to leave Earth https://youtu.be/jndESKr4SpI Part 2: 🚀 Rockets are boring. https://youtu.be/76WVRktfPos Part 3: 👽 Mars is Deadly. https://youtu.be/IAo9UVwAMas Part 4: 🌔 Lunar living? https://youtu.be/IAo9UVwAMas Part 5: 🛰 To the stars. https://youtu.be/bvVPpGQ9K78 ✨Find me on Patreon! ✨ http://patreon.com/tracedominguez Every new patron causes a litany of excited squeals. Thank you for all your support 💕 Landing on the moon was an achievement celebrated all over the world. The Apollo astronauts were the first to realize the power of a visit to our largest satellite, but could we all one day have a chance to visit the moon? The SpaceX Launch changed how we looked at space. JPL is sending robots to Mars. Eventually we are going to go back to the Moon, but whereas last time we visited for a day a time, now we're talking about forming a permanent #lunarbase! Could we ACTUALLY live there? Could we REALLY survive? I called Ariel Waldman and Pascal Lee to get their take. SERIES DESCRIPTION: Can we #LiveOnMars? Can we build a #LunarColony? Should we leave this solar system entirely? What would we need to visit another star? Can humans survive out there in the emptiness of space? I answer all these questions and more in my new science and technology series all about #leavingearth! New episodes every other day all week!

For a longer-range human presence on the Moon, the scope of science is potentially broader, including extensive field studies and sampling, plus the emplacement or assembly and the maintenance and operation of major equipment on the lunar surface http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/files/FactSheets/ExplorationofMoon.pdf Download that PDF http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/files/FactSheets/ExplorationofMoon.pdf How easy will it be to build a Moon base?? https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190201-how-easy-will-it-be-to-build-a-moon-base Researchers are 3D-Printing Fake Moon Dust Into Useful Hardware https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/researchers-are-3d-printing-fake-moon-dust-into-useful-hardware  To support a potential, future lunar base, researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) have 3D-printed and baked fake moon dust into screws, gears, and even a coin.

When you’re out in space, water is the most precious resource you can get your hands on. It can be used for air, water, to grow food, radiation shielding, and most importantly, as the propellant for your spacecraft. Exploration of the Moon has revealed that there’s a tremendous amount of water ice locked into the regolith, but it’s probably very difficult to access. But there are also permanently shadowed craters at the Moon’s poles that could have more than enough water to support a permanently inhabitable station on the Moon. But it’s going to be tricky to get at, considering the fact that temperatures in the shadows plunge to -240 degrees Celsius, just 30 degrees above absolute zero.

This full moon is a supermoon because it occurs just over 8 hours after the moon has reached perigee, when it is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit.

Super Pink Moon, the biggest SuperMoon of 2020 occurred on Tuesday, April 7. ► Expedition 63 Crew Launch to the International Space Station SET REMINDER: https://youtu.be/paVV06VkE9Q ► NASA Radio: Earth from Space LIVE NOW : https://youtu.be/PFKKXz_Jh10 A SuperMoon takes place when a full moon is at its closest to the Earth. On Tuesday (April 7), the moon will arrive at its closest point to Earth in 2020: a distance of 221,772 miles (356,907 kilometers) away. The name Pink Moon comes from the pink wildflowers, Wild Ground Phlox, that bloom in the spring and are native to North America. #SuperMoon #SuperLuna #LunaLlena ► Copyright FREE music provided by: Calm - Silent Partner Song: "Sappheiros - Embrace [Chill]" is under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0) Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: http://bit.ly/Sappheiros-Embrace Music: Ticker - Silent Partner "Scott Buckley - Titan [Epic]" is under a Creative Commons license (CC-BY) Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://youtu.be/8mdDft5-q28 "Escape by Sappheiros" is under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0) Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://youtu.be/UMRL6ltNfPU Song: "Sappheiros - Falling (Ft. eSoreni) [Chill]" is under a Creative Commons license (CC-BY) Song: Day 7 - Sweet Sorrow Link: https://youtu.be/LZlh4sxptMw Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: http://bit.ly/Sappheiros-Falling Mariana Trench by Paul Keane // UNDERWATER SPACE GALAXY CHILL-OUT BACKGROUND Audio Junction - NoCopyrightSounds Song: "Sappheiros - Embrace [Chill]" is under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0) Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: http://bit.ly/Sappheiros-Embrace

A supermoon occurs when the moon’s orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time it is full. So what's so special about a supermoon? Watch #NASAatHome to learn more and visit nasa.gov/moon

A "pink supermoon” (or “super pink moon”) occurs on Tuesday, April 7. This particular supermoon will be the biggest and brightest of the year, because it is full closest to the point of perigee. Perigee makes a full moon appear up to 7% larger and 15% brighter than a typical full moon. Traditionally, any full moon that occurred in April was called a Pink Moon. As for “supermoon,” the astronomical term is perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. Syzygy happens every time there is a full moon, and perigee is when the Moon comes closest to Earth in its slightly elliptical orbit around the Earth. On April 7, perigee (11:08am AZ/PT) occurs just over 8 hours before syzygy (7:35pm AZ/PT), and so we get a Pink Supermoon. The Moon rises due east at 6:42pm, here in Flagstaff, Arizona.

About 2 weeks ago NASA human spaceflight managers announced that the Lunar Gateway was no longer part of the plans of lunar landing targetted for 2024. The Lunar Gateway is a small space station in a loosely bound orbit near the moon, that can act as a staging site for mission to both the Moon and Mars. Up till now the plan was to have Orion dock there and take a lander to the surface of the moon, but I speculate that the new plan will involve Boeing launching the whole mission on 2 Upgraded SLS rockets.
