How many people will immigrate to Moon Village in 30 years?

Recently, the European Space Agency boldly put forward the idea of building a "moon village" on the moon, using lunar soil as building materials, building a living cabin through 3D printing, drinking water by melting the ice layer of the crater, and eating vegetables grown in the lunar soil. It is estimated that by 2030, 10 astronauts will be sent to live on the moon.

Werner, former director of the German Space Agency, pointed out that the establishment of a base on the moon is mainly because the International Space Station will be retired in 2024, and the Moon Village will be the next project to continue space exploration activities.

Fu Wan, the person in charge of planning the Moon Village project, said that it was like developing a railway. With the station, villages will develop around, and commercial activities will emerge as the times require.

He believes that by 2040, the number of people colonizing the moon will increase to 1000, and by 2050, the scale is more likely to expand to1000.

During the space mission in 2009, scientists found that craters in the polar regions of the moon contain ice, which can provide necessary water. At present, it is estimated that the entire Moon Village project will cost about $654.38+0 billion.

It is reported that although scientists and commercial prospectors are interested in the project, the concept has not yet proved to have market demand to attract the support of political leaders.
