   Does anyone really want to live on the moon? I mean it's a cool and dreamy idea but would you actually do it?

      Life on the moon is likely to develop in much the same way that humans settled in far-flung places on Earth. The first people to arrive and live on the moon will be there for a work-related reason (research, military posting, etc.). Those people will settle down, have families and form a community. Over time, the communities will grow and evolve into a distinct Moon culture and society.

         No one is going to raise families on the moon. Why do people believe this crazy nonsense?

            I'm speaking on a millenia timescale. A millenium ago, raising families in America or Australia would sound crazy to the common person.

               America and Australia have been inhabited by families for tens of thousands of years.
