to answer the most pressing questions about the origin and fate of humans and the possibility

that life exists elsewhere. Moon is the treasure trove of science, it provides opportunities to
learn about earth, sun and the solar system. Due to its proximity to earth, moon acts as a pitstop

for human exploration beyond our known dimensions. It is a world equivalent to an entire
continent that human feet have touched only a few times. For us to achieve this there must be

a proper framework to be followed while terraforming other planets.

1.1.1. Accessibility

The average distance of the Moon's orbit around the Earth is 374977 miles. Given the current
capabilities and the nearly finished SLS (Space Launch System), which will return humans to

the Moon as part of the Orion program. With today's technology, the trip takes three days, and
radio communications delays are acceptable enough to permit teleoperation.

1.1.3. Geology

About 2415 samples weighing a combined 382 kg were brought to Earth as part of the Apollo

mission. Nonetheless, there are still a lot of unanswered concerns regarding the Moon. The

information gleaned from the Moon is crucial for comprehending not just the history of the
Moon but also that of the space environment across countless millions of years. The lack of an

atmosphere and notable seismic activity on the Moon make this conceivable. The establishment
of a lunar outpost will benefit many other scientists as well, including physicists, biologists,

and paleontologists, in addition to planetary scientists. It will even introduce novel insights into

the fields of sociology and psychology.

1.1.4. Astronomy

The Moon is the ideal location for optical telescopes to be installed in order to explore the

universe in a manner akin to that of the Hubble Space Telescope because it lacks an
