Few humans have ever set foot on the moon. But, in the future, lots of us could be living on the lunar surface. But, what if we didn't need to fly a space shuttle to get there? What if the moon and Earth were connected by a futuristic bridge? In this video, we take a look at real-world plans to make travelling to the moon much easier, including a genuine "space elevator" and a sci-fi style retractable highway. But, will the plans ever work? Could we really build a bridge to the moon??

Few things feel more fundamental to life on Earth than having the moon light up the night sky. For centuries it has inspired, bemused and intrigued scientists and philosophers. And it plays a vital role in the way our planet works. But, what if the moon disappeared? What if our lunar neighbour simply switched itself off and vacated the solar system? What then??

The moon is already the biggest and brightest thing in the night sky. But, what if it looked even bigger? What if the moon was twice as close to the Earth? Would our lives be radically different? Or would we just carry on as usual, only with more moon to look at once darkness falls...

The moon is an ever-present fact of our Earthly existence. It's always there, lighting up the night sky and fuelling our dreams. But, what if it wasn't? And what if humans were the reason for its disappearance? Life on our planet would change forever!

Human beings have travelled to the moon, Neil Armstrong famously took 'one small step for mankind' there, but we haven't yet set up the Moon colonies that some were expecting. That's still the stuff of science fiction! But what would life be like if you were actually born on the moon? How would your life experience differ from everyone else's?

The moon is always there. Lighting up the night sky, controlling our tides and inspiring philosophers, thinkers and writers. But why does Earth have just one moon? Some of the other planets have lots of them. Jupiter has 79! And some have none at all. It's all to do with the history of our Solar System, and it all started around 4.5 billion years ago...
