      If you were to go there now, you would not survive even for a second.

      You would need an astronaut suit. This would have to be set up so that you don’t float off into space (counters the lack of gravity on the moon). And you would also need oxygen and food and water.

      So if you had the suit and an endless supply of oxygen/food/water then the other problem would be that space’s lack of gravity could affect your bones and muscles long term. Also not too sure whether being that close to the Sun has a bad affect on you – new information has shown that astronauts that have been in space has damage to their brains and eyes from radiation.

      So overall – a very short time.

      do you think one day we might be able to develop buildings on the moon then we would be able to live there for ages if we could create and artificial gravity and oxygen etc. would you like to live on the moon if we do create this enviroment one day.
