	The Moon: K-12 Experiments & Background
		The gravitational attraction that the Moon exerts on Earth is the cause of tides in the sea.
		The tidal bulges on Earth, caused by the Moon's gravity, are carried ahead of the apparent position of the Moon by the Earth's rotation, in part because of the friction of the water as it slides over the ocean bottom and into or out of bays and estuaries.
		The points where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic are called the "lunar nodes": the North (or ascending) node is where the Moon crosses to the North of the ecliptic; the South (or descending) node where it crosses to the South.

	Colonization of the Moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fact that the Moon is also geologically dead along with the lack of widespread human activity result in a remarkable lack of mechanical disturbance, making it far easier to set up interferometric telescopes on the lunar surface, even at relatively higher frequencies such as visible light.
		The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, a classic science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, tells the story of the evolution of lunar habitation from penal colonies to independence, by means of lunar rebellion against control by Earth-based governments, and touches on issues of sustainability, health, and transportation.
		Doctor Who next visited the Moon in the 1969 serial The Seeds of Death in which a base on the Moon is used as a relay station for T-Mat a powerful teleportation technology that has replaced all conventional forms of transport.

		The Lunar Federation is the only lunar and mars real estate company that plans to colonize the moon and mars to ensure private ownership of lunar and mars land.
		This means that whenever the moon is colonized it will become its own nation, with its own laws, governed by itself.
		When the moon is colonized it will not be governed by any treaty or earth based government.

		Therefore, the Moon treaty must only be changed with respect to 'due protection' when settlements begin to come up on the Moon and we have finished finding scientific, geological and scenic treasures.
		The Moon's nearly pristine state means billions of years of asteroid impacts are preserved, as obvious scars on the surface.
		I mean to say the gravity of the Moon is one-sixth that of Earth and with an assist of a 'fly-wing' analogous to the 'spikes' the sprinters on Earth use, the Lunans can fly in a running race.

	The Space Review: Colonize the Moon before Mars
		There are a number of reasons that the Moon is the best place to start space colonization, but the basis of most of them are its proximity to the Earth.
		Even colonization advocates would be happy with colonization of the Moon, the asteroids, and many other destinations.
		Colonizing the Moon will also be a faster spur to legal development.

	The Moon May Have Water, And Many New Possibilities
		Since the craft would be heading near the Moon, where some of the tests could be made, scientists got permission to put Clementine into a lunar orbit and remap in greater detail much of the surface.
		It was the first American craft to explore the Moon since the final Apollo landing in December 1972 and the last visit by any craft since the unmanned Russian Luna 24 landed there in 1976, picked up rock samples and returned them to Earth.
		The next mission to the Moon is Lunar Prospector, a small, unmanned craft being developed for NASA by the Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif., and built by Lockheed-Martin Corporation in Denver.

	Returning to the Moon: Resources, Future Development, and Colonization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Moon is due for re-visitation, not because there is need to re-examine the lunar rocks, but because our technological base has grown continuously to a point that it is possible to establish a permanent global human presence on the Moon.
		The Moon has a wealth of resources that can be used to support a broad range of human activities from science and engineering to commerce and tourism.
		The resources, for returning, exploring and colonizing the Moon, some of them are already present while others are in conceptual design mode.

	Lunar base
		In the 1960s, the Moon Race between the United States and the Soviet Union made many scientists in both countries believe that human colonization of the Moon was at hand.
		The craft consisted of the landing stage, which provided the descent on the surface of the Moon; the ascent stage, which would be used to take off from the lunar surface; and the reentry craft to bring the crew back on the surface of the Earth.
		The LEK had a mass of 31 tons on the surface of the Moon, 22 tons at the moment of takeoff and 9.2 tons during the flight to Earth.

		It is shown that the majority of these formations could be interpreted as collapsed subsurface cavities.
		Such local formations are puzzling from a geo- logical perspective, and seem promising candidates for archaeologi- cal objects.
		Besides, such subsurface cavities located in polar regions could be interesting for other reasons, such as colonization of the Moon or as collectors of volatile substances.
