5 Reasons why we need to go back to the moon

It has been a while since we have been on the moon. In the recent years, there have been some clamors to go back to our closest neighbor in space. Countries like the United States, Russia, United Kingdom, and India are on a race to go back to the lunar surface. Looking at it, here could be their top reasons:

Helium-3, Clean Energy on the Moon

When astronauts brought back samples of lunar dust and rocks in the 1970s, they did not know about Helium-3. Now everyone is craving for it as the ideal source of our energy in the future. Everyone is planning on bringing home rocket-loads of helium 3 back to earth. Imagine a ton of helium-3 capable of powering our houses, factories, and businesses for months. The potentials of Helium 3 are jaw dropping.

Tourism on the Moon

Imagine helium-3 on the works. Going back and forth to the moon will be easy and maybe more affordable. It can be a good deal for those who can afford to see the earth and the moon from a different perspective.

Survival of the Human Race

It is a long shot but the human race should look for alternative places to live in our solar system. A permanent settlement on the moon might be a stepping stone to our exploration of neighbors like Mars. Helium-3 can make the journey possible after all.

Earth Defense

If we have rockets that can reach the outer space, these are the rockets which can fly to the moon. Only projectiles like these rockets can be used to defend the planet against a collision with big asteroids and help us avoid ending up like the dinosaurs did.

Understanding of Space

Setting camp on the lunar surface to study the planets and stars around us will provide a better understanding of our solar system, our planet, and life in general.
