The near future will see permanent bases and resource extraction on The Moon. The current Artemis mission is moving towards this goal as I write this toot. Plans to set up operations at the poles are being laid or underway in more than a couple of Nations already. Kids in school today may be offered jobs on The Moon from private companies.
I imagine that these jobs would be quite elite. One day the trip may be safe enough for tourists with Lunar hotels and such, but I think the early days will be much harder. Workers will have to be qualified astronauts and the expense of sending a workforce to The Moon will require spending a long time there, being too expensive to send you home every weekend. Here on Earth, Fly-in, Fly-out workers can work long shifts with arrangements like 14 day on, 14 off. As a FIFO worker on The Moon, you will likely spend much longer.
The job will be well paid, and working on a new frontier will be exciting, but would quickly lose its shine.
The Sun would go up and two weeks later it would set, and home would just hang there, through a two week long night, spinning in place.
All this inspired my song “It’s Always Monday On The Moon”, named because Monday literally means Day of the Moon.
Thanks for listening!
