A lunar base is a facility built on the surface of the Moon to support human activities and research. It serves as a platform for scientific experiments, exploration, and potential resource extraction. The base can provide shelter, life support, and energy for astronauts, allowing them to stay for extended periods. Establishing a lunar base could pave the way for future missions to Mars and beyond. It may utilize local resources, such as lunar regolith, to create building materials or produce water and oxygen. This would help reduce the need to transport supplies from Earth, making space exploration more sustainable.
