They've been planning a mars colony for years now, it was only a matter of time before they looked a bit closer to home. It will be a bit trickier than a Mars base however. Mars has an atmosphere, a thin one, but enough to protect from solar radiation and space debris. The moon however, like this video covers, is a different story. You're basically exposed to all solar radiation and space debris with no natural protection what so ever. I do find it rather interesting that they are considering using the Moon soil itself as a shield to protect the Moon Base. I wonder if that will be enough.
I'd rather we settled Venus. Cloud city bitches.
