This episode examines whether humans can actually establish permanent residence on the lunar surface, exploring NASA's Artemis programme and China's International Lunar Research Station timelines, the engineering challenges of razor-sharp regolith and radiation exposure without atmospheric shielding, the economics of In-Situ Resource Utilisation that transforms ice into rocket fuel, and what daily life might look like for the first permanent lunar residents living underground in lava tubes whilst monitoring their bone density and gazing at Earth hanging in the black sky above—all whilst confronting the greatest unknown: what happens when someone gives birth at one-sixth gravity.
