Conclusion
 
 

    During our project we  have learned to work together as a strong team and we have learned a lot from each other. For example, from Jason's research about the origin of the Moon we know that since the creation of the the Moon has been the closest and most easily observed object in the night sky. Since ancient times the moon has always had a fascinating effect on mankind throughout history. This fascination had led to many new discoveries in the scientific field. From calendars and Galileo's telescopes to space exploration and the Hubble telescope. Saf helped us determine the direction we used for our project, for example the notion of studying the Moon in three sections, the past, present, and the future. Saf's portion of the project was the present that helps to link the past and the future. According to Saf Since Neil Amstrong first set foot on the Moon our understanding of the moon and its properties has intensified. This has led to the communication revolution. This led to developments of satellites, which can send signals including images from one side of the Earth to the other. It is thanks to these progresses we are able to sit in our homes and watch what is happening on the other side of the world. For example, millions across the world watched the death of Lady Diana. We are able to send information over the Internet all across the world in the matter of seconds. Phil's part was pertaining to the future of the Moon and the visualization of what it will take to make these future plans a reality. Phil believes that the future of Moon looks bright. With continued collective efforts from all nations, we can hope to establish permanent lunar bases and colonies on the Moon. Developing the lunar resources is also very important to humanity living and working on the Moon. Still, much more research is needed before we have domes of inhabitants extracting water from the soil below.
    Exploration of the lunar surface in search of oxygen-rich soil, hydrogen, helium-3, and water, has to be a major priority for NASA. What worries me is with these resources available for the taking is it may be as alluring as the wild frontier. There might be a rush of people trying to develop and mine the Moon, hoping to reap the rewards for them personally. Hopefully there can be a treaty devoted especially to the development of the Moon's resources signed by all nations but I'm sure there are going to be some private interest groups that will want a piece of the action. In reality, we are still some time away from human habitation on the moon, so don’t sell your house yet. The question is not if, but when these visions will become reality and with the confirmation of ice on the Moon it will surely speed up the time table.
