    Using present day technology, there is no possible way that the moon could be successfully terraformed and there is no future technology that appears able to do the job.

    Perhaps the biggest obstacle is the moons utter lack of an atmosphere, due to it's low gravity. Unless portable gravity generators that don't violate any of the laws of physics are invented, it just isn't going to happen.

    This isn't even going into how we would have to import all of the soil and plant life from the Earth, and there being no guarantee that said plant life would survive the journey from the Earth to the Moon, let alone surviving on the Moon's surface.

    • i believe we'll be able to build domes with plant life growing under it, this seems like a very possible option

    • A artificial gravity would be fairly easy to create all you would need is compressed matter strengthening the gravity a bit. To get compressed matter all u would need to do is to put a certain amount of matter in a box made out of the hardest element known to man ( diamonds come to mind) fill the box with air till you have the right density. Gravity will keep it from falling apart after u remove it from the high pressure environment. (best to do this on the moon and have a hole ready to put it in because the gravity change will likely cause distortions if not in the right spot.)and now u have an Artificial gravity generator
