According to CNN, head of the European Space Agency, Johann-Dietrich Woerner said this particular village would "serve science, business, tourism and even for mining purposes".

This village could replace the future International Station.

He said the village could replace the future International Station. The ISS station has been continuously serving people since 2000 until now. Initially, the ISS was scheduled to "retire" in 2020, but this plan was recently moved to 2024. The agency said it took about 20 years for the technology to build the village on the Moon. sieve.

Woerner said that they will make use of resources on the Moon to build a village instead of carrying materials from the Earth. The structure of the building will be implemented with the help of 3D printing and robotics techniques.

"We don't need a large amount of funding from the beginning . we can start with a small landing mission with plans made by many countries," Gong said.

The permanent presence of humans on the Moon can be dangerous due to cosmic radiation.

The permanent presence of humans on the Moon can be dangerous due to cosmic radiation, meteorites and extreme temperatures that can range from 53 degrees F (123 0 C) to 243 F (-153 0 C). But Woerner said the risks could be minimized by choosing the right position on the Moon. He explained: "If we go into the dark on the Moon, we have to choose places where there is no radiation . at the southern pole. It is a place with permanent darkness and we can find water." .

According to the Space Treaty signed in 1967, no country could claim the ownership of the Moon. The European Space Agency wants the Moon village to be the common property of the world and will be the basis for all countries to cooperate in the exploitation of space.
