Moon Development

On July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong was the first person to step foot on the moon. This was the greatest accomplishment that the astronauts of NASA had done. Ever since that moment in history, we have decided that we want to return to the moon and possibly start new developments on it's surface. Many are for this idea, but I myself are completely against new developments knowing how difficult and dangerous it could become.

No one thinks that we may have a possible new world to live on other then Earth. This is because that idea seems completely absurd. Due to the fact that the moon doesn't have the needed necessities that are important for everyday life, developing a new livable world will be very time consuming. I feel that beginning plans on new developments is a bit premature. We have a long way to go before any one human is ready to live on a non-earth realm. They say that people don't like change, but were ready to drop everything and explore the possibility of having humans one day live on the moon. I don't know about anyone else, but Earth comes before any other planet or moon out there to me, simply because it's what we call home. The planet Earth has so much potential harm to it, but according to NASA, they're worried about starting a whole new home on the moon. I'm not quite sure what they are trying to accomplish other then possibly gather needed resources for Earth, but it seems to me that new developments are what should be last on their mind right now.

Not only is time conservation a factor in this project, but many health implications may arise. The most troublesome material that gets in the way of research and/or developments, would have to be moon dust. These tiny grains of dust get into everything, clogging machines and abrading spacesuit fabric. This fine dust may not only be an annoying hazard to astronauts but it may also be toxic if inhaled. Moon dust carries an electromagnetic charge which allows it to float over the moon's surface. This characteristic let's the dust cover camera lenses and faceplates. If wanting to construct a plan on how to build habitats, return man to the moon, and mine lunar soil, you must be aware of the dangers that moon dust can cause. The lunar dust is actually much like the silica dust on our Earth. Silica is a type of dust that may cause silicosis which is a serious disease. The real concern about this material is our lungs. Once entered into the body, the moon dust will begin to fill your lungs clogging them and making it hard to breathe. It can cause extra production of mucus and become fatal. It
