The colonization of the Moon is the proposed establishment of permanent human communities on the Moon. Advocates of space exploration have seen settlement of the Moon as a logical step in the expansion of humanity beyond the Earth. Recent indication that water might be present in quantities at the lunar poles has increased interest in the Moon. Because of its proximity to Earth, the Moon has been seen as a prime candidate for the location of humanity's first permanently occupied extraterrestrial base. This book studies colonization of the Moon including the Lunex Project, the JSC Moon Base, the Artemis Project, and the Sinus Medii.
