The characteristics of the moon are almost completely different compare to Earth's. The characteristics are different because the moon has a relatively weak gravitational force and the moon is in a vacuumed environment. Just think about what we could initially do to the moon once we get there. We could create moon stations that could make rockets; and telescopes so that we could study and explore deep in space in the long term.
Having rockets on the moon would be better than having it on Earth. On Earth, the rockets would need plenty amount of fuel so it could be pulled away from the Earth's gravity and fly through air resistance. On the moon, however, the rocket would not need as much fuel as you need it on Earth, because the air resistance would be absent. This would be a cheaper way to fund a project to launch something in space.
If we were to construct a humongous telescope on the moon's surface, it would be better than Hubble's Telescope. The reason for that is because the telescope would be a whole lot bigger than the one orbiting Earth, and it would be placed on the moon with the absent of the atmosphere. Just imagine what we would see through those lens; there could be things that are waiting to be discovered. Maybe we would detect life, who knows?
If we do not colonize the moon, we would be stuck on Earth until then. The reason for that is because the amount of fuel that the rocket needs to launch from Earth. Also, Telescopes would not advance to the moon due its size to carry on board on the rocket. If we do explore deeper in space and carry a large telescope on board, it would be costly.
There are many possibilities to do on the moon with its unique environment. We have many questions that are unanswered that needs to be answered. The new ways of studying space from the moon would be remarkable because we might answer our unanswered questions like if there is life out there. I just hope that there will be another moon mission in my lifetime at least.
