Future or Fantasy? Efforts to set up permanent manned colonies on the moon and their plausibility Ayhan Naiman, Al Ain English Speaking School, UAE Every little kid has at some point dreamed of the future and all its wonders. Be it flying cars, video phones or (little me's personal dream) humans living on the moon.
