The 8th Continent?

S1, E3: Fifty years ago for the first time astronauts in the shape of Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, put their feet on the lunar surface. But does the rendezvous in space remain the climax in the relationship between man and moon? Or could the moon become our second earth in the future, maybe even the eighth continent? If it’s after the space agency’s ESA and NASA, the time is right for a new moon mission. And this time it should not be for a simple excursion, this time the astronauts will come to stay. In the space agencies' assembly halls, technicians are working on the spaceship of the future: Orion, the new American-European space capsule, will bring astronauts to the moon for the first time after fifty years. Whether 2020, 23 or 25 are not clear yet, but the lunch should come. Scientists all over the world are already working on designs for lunar colonies, because there are already fantastic plans for the moon: in addition to research stations, mining should be carried out on a large scale. How realistic are the objectives of this planned moon mission, because the requirements for an extraterrestrial colonization are enormous. What does science hope for, from the new discovery of the moon? And will man treat the eighth continent more carefully than the earth after a successful colonization? Only the future generations will know.
