Mining The Moon

In December of 2017, NASA plans to launch " the Lunar flashlight" into space to begin a six month trip to the moon to orbit around 80 times to find shadowed areas that contain water.

Doing this would expand our exploration and we humans could settle on the moon. The moon is about 1/4th the size of the earth and has many craters in it. We could fit about 1 billion people on the moon in side all of the craters, that about about a couple feet to about a couple miles.All though the moon has little to no atmosphere and little gravity, we could build build facilities that have aquaponic systems that could produce food and plants that could eventually produce enough  carbon dioxide and oxygen let humans and living things thrive. It wouldn't be impossible, but we could establish factories that burn to make energy and carbon dioxide and methane to build up an atmosphere and warm up the moon. This is all just an opinion and predictions, but it seems possible with all the technology that today and the speed at which its advancing.
