"Is it thy face that launched thousand ships?''--this saying is quite true about the moon. For ages, mankind had endeavoured to reach the rocky moon, to conquer its mountains, and to hoist the triumphant flag over it as a sign of man's technological advancement.

That dream has become a reality today through several adventurous expeditions. A colony in moon is no longer a superstitious dream, rather a hardcore reality. The day is not far away when our successors will trod in its harsh exterior and will ensure the progress of mankind in a new, innovative way.

In the annals of human evolution, the moon may one day prove as a potential source for human existence in this ever-expanding universe.
