The Moon is the closest celestial body to us. It is also the one we know most about, the only one we have visited so far, and our constant companion. With NASA's new Artemis program and newfound interest in exploring the Moon and beyond, my proposal is to create a base on the Moon for further space exploration, scientific development and establishment of an extraterrestrial colony. Dealing with obstacles such as lack of resources, radiation and no atmosphere, my project combines different constructive strategies, such as 3D-printing, excavating and inflatable membranes, to create an environment where humans can live and thrive on the Moon. The habitat allows for performing experiments and engaging in the basic survival activities, but also creates a home in such a challenging and distant place. Creating varied layers of habitability and protection ensure for a productive and entertaining existence on our one and only satellite, paving way to further explore the Solar System.
