What If We Terraformed The Moon?

Could we ever terraform the moon? Currently, the technology and resources escape us - and there are enough pressing issues on Earth as it is. Yet, becoming an interplanetary species is likely a necessity for the longterm survival of humanity. So today, we’ll explore this bold and intriguing proposal.

    Yes, and comets already frequently hit the moon, which can be attested by the vast number of craters on its surface. In addition to its weak gravity, what is really lacking on the moon is a geodynamo, to protect gases on board from being blown away by solar radiation.

    Probably not the wisest to bombard the moon with comets/astroids. It might work in the case of Mars, but the moon is a bit too close to earth for this to be a viable option. It would eject an incredible amount of Moon Stone into space, some of which will inevitably fall on earth. Just imagine the damage that would cause... EVERY FRIGGIN CLEFAIRY WOULD END UP EVOLVING!

    This vid is really cool and the visuals are well produced, but I feel like this would not be a great way to go about terraforming the moon: for one, there are the potential consequences of breaking the tidal lock between the moon and earth and covering the moon's normally reflective surface and dimming it in the night sky for us on earth - and for two, without a magnetic field around it to shield it from the solar wind, the moon would be stripped of any atmosphere we could introduce, and our colonists would become riddled with cancer, not to mention the fact that I'm not sure whether the moon's gravity is capable of compressing an atmosphere to be dense enough to support life. Still really liked the video tho! (Mostly nitpicking obviously)

    Really like the videos editing and everything is really cool, wish it talked more about the magnetic field problem though, the moon lacks a heavy metal molten core similar to a plant because the moon was most likely formed differently, that magnetic field is what really separates the ability to have life because without one even if a body had a thick atmosphere would be pounded with radiation coming from our sun, it’s one of the reason earth is habitable. Our moon is very much less dense then other moons and inner planets in our solar system, to terraform it to have prosperous biological life on the surface would probably never happen for some of these reasons and other big challenges that a planet like Mars or moon of Jupiter or even Venus may be better suited for, the moon will probably serve as just an out post for rockets and robots and maybe a few underground workers as it’s just to hostile to anything biological and to expensive and labors to attempt to make it hospitable.

    There is one major flaw with all of this though (aside from the extremely low surface gravity), the moon has no magnetosphere of its own, and for most of each month it is well outside of the earth's magnetosphere as well. Meaning even if you did transfer all of these gasses, and create a 24 hour rotation period, it wouldn't really matter because the sun's solar winds would blow away all of the gas anyways (though the "normal" day night cycle would be convenient for effective solar panel use).
