The very idea whips up images of    interconnected biodomes, hovercrafts cruising the pockmarked    surface, and ships darting to Earth and back again. The moon is    the only planetary object whose features can be seen without    the aid of a telescope. It's also the closest object to our    planet large enough for humans to inhabit. When considering    long-term     space exploration and living, building a moon colony seems    like the next logical step. We have the technology to get there    and the innovative thinking to be successful. But what are the    benefits of a moon colony? Do the risks outweigh the gains? How    is such an expensive undertaking feasible in uncertain economic    climates? Will we build on the moon in the next decade, or will    the dream of a moon colony continue to hang on the horizon,    just out of reach?  <\/p>\n<p>    Let's take a look at some of the pros -- and cons -- of    colonizing the moon.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>View original post here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.discovery.com\/tv-shows\/curiosity\/topics\/pros-and-cons-of-colonizing-the-moon\/\" title=\"10 Pros (and Cons) of Colonizing the Moon | Curiosity ...\">10 Pros (and Cons) of Colonizing the Moon | Curiosity ...<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Moon colonization.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/transhuman-news-blog\/moon-colonization\/10-pros-and-cons-of-colonizing-the-moon-curiosity\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-moon-colonization"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48807"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48807\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
