Scientists stated there won't be cities on the Moon anytime soon. Despite recent advances in mapping the lunar surface to assess the viability of building cities on the satellite, a new study cools expectations for permanent colonization. The study contrasts with the enthusiasm of recent projects that explored the possibility of establishing human settlements on the Moon. The research indicates there are still significant obstacles to be overcome before any permanent colonization attempt can be viable.

Why this matters

The article is of interest to readers interested in space exploration and technology, as it reveals scientific limitations for future lunar colonization, potentially affecting plans of space agencies and private companies investing in Moon missions.
