Lunar bases are structures built on the surface of the Moon to support human activities and scientific research. These bases can provide shelter, life support, and resources for astronauts, enabling long-term exploration and potential colonization. They may utilize local materials, such as lunar regolith, to reduce the need for supplies from Earth. The establishment of lunar bases could facilitate various missions, including NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon. Such bases could serve as launch points for deeper space exploration, including missions to Mars and beyond, enhancing our understanding of the solar system.
