Having a permanent human presence on the Moon could be risky, because of cosmic radiation, micrometeorites, and extreme temperatures which can range from 253 degrees F (123 C) to minus 243 F (minus 153 C).īut Woerner said these risks could be minimized by picking the right locations on the Moon.

Woerner said the agency could use the Moon's natural resources to build the village, instead of bringing materials from Earth.
