Can humans really survive on the Moon? This clear, no-nonsense guide explores the real science behind making the Moon livable-from generating oxygen and controlling pressure to protecting against radiation and adapting to low gravity.
James Davis breaks down complex problems into simple, practical ideas. Learn how future lunar settlers might grow plants to produce air, recycle water, and build dome-like habitats to create a safe environment. The book also explores how greenhouses, smart sensors, and artificial ecosystems could help us breathe and thrive off-Earth.
Far from science fiction, this book shows what it would actually take to turn the Moon into humanity's next home-and why it's worth doing. Whether you're a student, space fan, or dreamer, *Creating an Atmosphere on the Moon* is your down-to-Earth look at how to survive above the Earth.
Inspiring, informative, and rooted in reality-this is the future made practical.
