First Step of Expanding Humanity Throughout Space

Living on our moon would be extraordinary because it would be the first step to expand humanity throughout space. It is good to expand humanity because we are in the process of overpopulating our planet. Just imagine how fun it would be to discover the new things in outer space and to experience the environments of the moons and the planets in our solar system. I could see ourselves travelling to our moon in the near future due to the fact that it would only take about 3 days to get there from Earth.

The only way we could live on our moon is by living in a glass dome, because we are adaptive to the Earth's environment for years and the moon's environment is not even close to that. We need a glass dome that would provide oxygen and provide protection from the solar radiation. It also needs to provide the right amount of pressure and temperature for us. The temperature cannot be too hot nor too cold; the pressure cannot be too high nor too low or it would be impossible to be living there. 

I still think it is nice to live in the dome on the moon. However, some people would  not want to be living in the glass dome, because they would feel like their freedom of exploring new areas would be taken away. Other than that, the only problem of living on the moon, however, is that we cannot control gravity. Since the moon's gravity is really low compare to Earth's, our muscles would become weak because it would get used to moon's gravitational force. If people were to live there for about a year or so and they come back to Earth, they would have a hard time walking around here due to their muscles weaken by the lack of Earth's gravity.

Due to the moon's relatively weak gravitational force, new sports would be invented and there would be new ways of transportation. Transportation would require less energy because of the moon's gravity. Instead of walking to school like we used to on Earth, we could hop our ways to school on the moon with less effort.

It is a shame that we have stopped going to the moon for about forty years due to the lack of funds. If we did not stop going, we would be living on the moon right now and possibly living on Mars. However, we will make that happen in the future.
