Radiation of immigrants

Speaking of the moon, as a satellite of the earth, it is also the planet closest to the earth in the vast universe. Since 1969, the astronauts in the American Apollo program successfully landed on the surface of the moon. From that moment on, the human dream of space began to be ignited, especially after entering 2 1 century, human beings have higher requirements for the moon.

Man wants to transform the moon into a space base.

However, it is very difficult to transform Mars. After all, decades later, humans can't even land on Mars, and even the success rate of launching a Mars probe is less than 50%.

Therefore, some scientists put forward the method of "saving the country by curve". Simply put, it is to transform the moon first, and then transform Mars with the experience of transforming the moon.

In this way, the moon can be used as a "springboard" for human beings to travel in space in the future, which can help them go further. Now, NASA has started related projects and cooperated with Japan, Canada and other countries.

Is it easy to transform the moon?

In fact, although it is close to the moon and the earth, and human beings have rich experience in landing on and exploring the moon, it is not as simple as imagined to transform the moon.

Because the moon is in a completely vacuum environment, it always bears huge radiation from the sun. Therefore, if you want to build a base on the moon, the first thing you need to solve is the radiation problem of the moon. Otherwise, even if humans really immigrate to the moon in the future, they will not be able to live on the moon without taking off their spacesuits.

In addition, even if the moon is close to the earth, it is not easy to transport materials from the earth to the moon, and there is a huge demand for cost, time-consuming and manpower.

Therefore, in recent years, scientists have been hoping to use local materials on the moon, which not only reduces the cost, but also has a higher success rate.

Scientists have found a radiation-proof structure on the moon.

Some time ago, after studying the surface structure of the moon returned by the lunar probe, Italian scientists found that there are probably lava tubes on the moon, which means that the moon actually has its own radiation protection structure.

What is a lava tube? Simply put, it is a geological structure similar to a pipeline naturally formed inside the lava flow. Its shell can not only keep warm, but also be a natural protective device because it is very hard, which can ensure the survival of life inside.

Therefore, after discovering the lava tube on the moon, the Italian team of scientists found that its structure is the same as that of the earth's lava tube, which means that in the future, human beings can transform the moon only by building a base in the lava tube.

Moreover, through research, it is found that there are many lava tubes on the moon, which means that the establishment of a lunar base will make dreams come true, and human beings may also immigrate to the moon and go further through the moon.
