Yes, now a vacation to outer space, in particular the month, closer to materialize. In a period of 20 years, estimated the Earth can be traveled to get there.
Head of the European Space Agency (ESA), Johann-Dietrich Worner, has revealed the idea of building a Moon Village or Rural Months expressed in a video. It is quoted by the Daily Mail
Settlement may be realized in 2030, will be built using materials from the Moon to create a permanent structure with the purpose of science, business, or even tourism.
To make it come true, said ESA Director General required the collaboration of each country to send experts, whether human or robot.
According to him, after 50 years of man landed on the moon, the next step is to create a permanent building that functions similar to the International Space Station or the Space Station.
In terms of location, the experts recommended that the building was set up at the lunar poles or in areas that receive sunlight continuously.
In the southern pole, aka the dark part of the Moon, people can access the water to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
At the location there is the shadow of the Moon, the 'residents' can be shielded from the sun's radiation and cosmic objects. The area also reduces the risk of micrometeorite and temperature extremes.
At that location is also suitable for the radio telescope built utilizing the resources of the Moon, instead of bringing material from Earth.

Not only that, the material can also be used to build the entire structure or basic maintenance.
"First of all, a rover will be placed on the Moon to build the dome or the large auditorium. Chances are, it takes more rover to building on the first," said Woener.
"This structure will be used to protect astronauts," he added.

While many countries have plans to travel to Mars, Woerner said that the Moon is a reality that is more realistic.
"I agree that it is true, that humans will go to Mars someday. However, it will happen in time is still long," says Woerner.
ESA Director General said that Moon Village will be worked together with the American space agency, Russia, China, India, and Japan with a smaller contribution from other countries.
To achieve these objectives, needed to build technology that is expected to require a long time, which is 20 years. But experts say that the settlements on the Moon is a necessity and can be a big leap in human history.
