What If We Terraformed The Moon?

Could we ever terraform the moon? Currently, the technology and resources escape us - and there are enough pressing issues on Earth as it is. Yet, becoming an interplanetary species is likely a necessity for the longterm survival of humanity. So today, we’ll explore this bold and intriguing proposal.

Probably not the wisest to bombard the moon with comets/astroids. It might work in the case of Mars, but the moon is a bit too close to earth for this to be a viable option.

This vid is really cool and the visuals are well produced, but I feel like this would not be a great way to go about terraforming the moon: for one, there are the potential consequences of breaking the tidal lock between the moon and earth and covering the moon's normally reflective surface and dimming it in the night sky for us on earth - and for two, without a magnetic field around it to shield it from the solar wind, the moon would be stripped of any atmosphere we could introduce, and our colonists would become riddled with cancer, not to mention the fact that I'm not sure whether the moon's gravity is capable of compressing an atmosphere to be dense enough to support life. Still really liked the video tho! (Mostly nitpicking obviously)

Really like the videos editing and everything is really cool, wish it talked more about the magnetic field problem though, the moon lacks a heavy metal molten core similar to a plant because the moon was most likely formed differently, that magnetic field is what really separates the ability to have life because without one even if a body had a thick atmosphere would be pounded with radiation coming from our sun, it’s one of the reason earth is habitable. Our moon is very much less dense then other moons and inner planets in our solar system, to terraform it to have prosperous biological life on the surface would probably never happen for some of these reasons and other big challenges that a planet like Mars or moon of Jupiter or even Venus may be better suited for, the moon will probably serve as just an out post for rockets and robots and maybe a few underground workers as it’s just to hostile to anything biological and to expensive and labors to attempt to make it hospitable.

I really like the thought experiment and the animations, keep that up it's very good But I have some critique about it. You can't just give the moon a thicker athmosphere. Its gravity is way too low and all the gases would flee away from its surfice again. Also can't the moon support any life since it lacks a magnetosphere, which protects life from solarwinds. These magnetospheres come about with a molten and moving iron core, which the moon does not posses.

Yeah or how destabilizing the moons orbit would either cause it to fling itself away from the earth like a slingshot or sink forward until it tears itself apart turning into a belt of small debre like Saturn's rings. The moon is in a delicate elliptical orbit which is slowly growing closer to earth over time threatening to do just that, forcing it to mess with that balance would be catastrophic

I thought this would address the problem that due to the moons low gravity, it will probably lose its atmosphere to space after a while. Either we would need to regularly bring new nitrogen, water and oxygen to the moon to refresh its atmosphere, or we find a way to contain it on the moon. We might need to build some kind of planetary "bubble" around the entire moon that would trap the atmosphere inside. We would also need to build some kind of artificial magnetic field generator floating in space to protect the moon from harmful radiation from the sun. For spaceships to enter and exit the moon there could be airlocks in the bubble, but one big problem would be tiny meteorites or larger asteroids that would crash into this bubble and create holes in it. We would need a huge amount of robots patrolling the bubble, constantly checking for meteor holes in the surface and repairing/exchanging the panels there.

I have issues with this video. First of all, it's my first time watching a video on this channel, and it's ... weird. The narration is on point, the editing is incredible, the sound design is very well done; only the script lacks quite a fair bit, as some obvious questions are not mentioned such as: how long could the moon hold onto this new atmosphere? Or how would the absence of a magnetic field affect the atmosphere and life on the surface? So i looked at the description, there's the name of two individuals, who have a specific role, as if they worked for a large media production company. So: who the hell are you guys?

There is one major flaw with all of this though (aside from the extremely low surface gravity), the moon has no magnetosphere of its own, and for most of each month it is well outside of the earth's magnetosphere as well. Meaning even if you did transfer all of these gasses, and create a 24 hour rotation period, it wouldn't really matter because the sun's solar winds would blow away all of the gas anyways (though the "normal" day night cycle would be convenient for effective solar panel use).

@@purgedsoy9518 That is also why I believe putting a colony on Mars is a bad idea and why I believe that Venus would be the better planet for a colonization effort at our current technology level. Honestly I think the best use for Mars would be to use it as a factory planet, a Manufactorium as it were. Have all major industrial grade production take place there, it has a low surface gravity, virtually no atmosphere, and is conveniently located right next to the asteroid belt. Meaning transportation of raw materials and the finished products would be relatively inexpensive.

Really great video, full of very useful information and inspiring possibilities. Just a tiny hiccup, Mercury is the closest planet to the Earth being 1.04AU on average versus Venus' 1.14AU. The radiation problem is still quite big though. The majority of the moon's orbit doesn't have the protective cover the Earth does from it's dipolar magnetism. There are theoretical plans by NASA to build solar shields, satellites far out of the orbit of a planetary body that extend smaller magnetic fields to deflect the solar wind around planets. They stay locked into the same position (between the body and the Sun) throughout it's orbit period using Lagrange points, functionally acting like a magnetic field. This was proposed for Mars but something similar could be extended for the moon, perhaps even serving as a prototype proof of concept.
