What If We Settled on the Moon?
Imagine living on the Moon. You’d have the best view of Earth, enjoy bouncing around in zero gravity and living your life as an astronaut explorer. Ah, doesn’t that sound nice! Except living on the Moon won’t be like this at all. So what would it be like to actually live on the Moon? Which country would be first? And why would moondust be your biggest problem?
Correction at 00:26: of course the Moon does not have zero gravity. The gravity on the Moon is about 17% what it is on the Earth.

When I saw the countries who were interested in I was like no way their all broke. Then I checked the date this was made 5 years ago. A lot has changed since then.

No point in eating meat. It will be like repeating same mistakes. Early man didn't have the choice, but we do. Stop culling chicken/mother Cow for food. I beg Nasa and people of the USA to stop culling. 🕉
