    How do we get all the materials and tools for the constructions up there to begin with? And how do we supply the base with Oxygen, food, water, etc?

      Sure, there’s lots of questions needed to be answered

      • transportation is in progress. Everyone must have heard about Artemis andStarShip: one or both are planned to get you there, plus I believe SpaceX has a contract for a lander
      • maybe you heard the excitement over discovering ice. With sufficient power, the hope is they can make their own water, oxygen, rocket fuel
      • there have been quite a few experiments in ISS with growing plants. Hopefully they can grow at least some of their own
