- 1. I think that we should build a lunar basebefore we attempt to make a martianbase, because it's close proximity to Earthwould allow us to more quickly ship ourtechnology and run tests on how it wouldperform in space.

- 2. It should be an international effort becauseit would save all of the countries interested indoing so a lot of money because it'd be splitamong many nations. Also because it wouldinstill a sense of pride in humanity as a wholeto be able to colonize other planets.

- 3.They'd be living in inhospitableenvironments with no atmosphere or arableland. They would also have to live in small,enclosed habitats, that are physically isolatedfrom the rest of humanity.

- 4. They would have to deal the theconfinement of lunar bases, the inability togrow lots of crops on the moon, and the factthat they'd probably get lonely on the moon,separated from pretty much all humans.

- 5. I would most likely miss all of the junkfoodthat i can't get on the moon, and the wideopen areas that I can roam around in on earth.

- 6. I'd probably go to school, but learn morepractical things. Like repairing the equipmentthat'd keep us alive. I'd probably start workingsooner than i would on earth as we'd need allhelp to keep thing afloat. And for recreation Iprobably wouldn't be able to play as manysports because most bases on other planetswould be very small.
