One of the goals of living in a lunar colony would be to set up a working community.

... , but there will always be the danger of blowouts. Spacesuits can be designed to withstand some micro-meteorite impacts, but no one can ever predict the size of the next object to strike the Moon. Vehicles can be inspected after every trip but no one can ever ensure that there will never ever be a ...
Satellites in low Earth orbits will burn up as they re-enter the atmosphere at the end of their lives. Sometimes, very large and expensive satellites, like the Hubble Space Telescope, can be given a re-boost to return them to a higher orbit and ...
