The scientific exploration can teach more about our own earth and compare discoveries with the moon’s environment. I think that in the future we could gain a great amount of research to help ourselves in many branches of science. It is definitely a good idea to keep going with lunar exploration.Mary Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09038217834666142730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929725394693257795.post-52015129494886437822010-05-26T21:30:51.533-05:002010-05-26T21:30:51.533-05:00I think it is important to scientists and astronom...I think it is important to scientists and astronomers to know the composition of the moon's surface. As the world population grows, we will probably need to have colonies on the moon.
