      Hey,

      There’s a chance that a small number of people will one day live on the moon, to mine some of the resources that can be found there. It’s unlikely that many people will ever live there though, because there is no air or water.
      It’s more likely that humans will live on mars – there are a few missions planned to send people there soon.

      Hi,

      I think there will be a permanent base on the moon where say 50 or so people will live. This base will act as a launch site and maybe a training camp for missions deeper into space, like the one’s going to mars but maybe even further!
