-Living on the Moon might be a problem?
One of the biggest problems of creating a colony on the moon is how to create a water source. There have been many reports suggesting that there is some water near the poles of the Moon, but now that may not be the case, new research shows. Research suggests that there is still a possibility of ice mixed with dust on the poles, but ice on the Moon has yet to be confirmed. More testing and observation needs to happen before scientists have an idea if there are traces of water on the Moon. A source of some type water needs to be on the Moon in order for colonizing the Moon. Importing water would be a financial burden and there needs to be a way to get water out of the moon. Until then, settling on the Moon may run into some roadblocks in the near future.
