Europe intends to build the village on the Moon

Not long after being appointed as executive director of the European Space Agency (ESA), Johann-Dietrich Woerner announced the proposal to build a village on the Moon - Earth's natural satellite with cooperation of many countries.

Planned to build the Moon's village in Europe

"We should look to the future beyond the framework of the International Space Station (ISS). We should have a smaller spacecraft in the Earth's low orbit to study micro-gravity. and I propose to build a village on the Moon, "Woerner said.

This village has not only a few houses, churches or townships, but also a place where partners around the world contribute to its development with robots , astronaut missions or satellites. communications.

According to the head of ESA, the return to the Moon has a great scientific meaning and is a stepping stone to humanity's continued exploration of the solar system. He identified the Moon's obscured surface area very interesting and before reaching Mars , we could test the planned plans on the red planet with the Moon, such as the giant 3D printing system. The US Agency for Aeronautics (NASA) is studying.

Journey from Earth to the Moon for 4 days, is the ideal distance to start learning how to live in a completely unfamiliar world, compared to taking 6 months to get to Mars.

The village on the Moon is expected to become a multinational base with the participation of many astronauts, including those from Russia and China.

" We need an unlimited international cooperation with any country in the world. On Earth, we have had enough problems between countries. The space environment can contribute to solving things. that and the Moon is a suitable idea , "he said, emphasizing the solution of co-operation in space to tighten relationships, instead of isolating a country.

Back to the Python Face, g seems to be becoming a concern for many countries around the world. According to the BBC Future survey, many experts predict that the Moon will be the destination of many discovery programs in the next decade.

Woerner said the idea of ​​the Moon village was designed to encourage ideas to discuss the future of space exploration and research and the application of space technology. Responding to criticism about spending money on astronomical research, he asserts there is no dividing wall between exploration and practical application. Everyone knows the greenhouse effect, but it is actually discovered from a mission to probe Venus instead of the word on Earth.
