Imagine living on the Moon. You'd have the best view of Earth, enjoy bouncing around in zero gravity and living your life as an astronaut explorer. Ah, doesn't that sound nice! Except living on the Moon won't be like this at all. So what would it be like to actually live on the Moon? Which country would be first? And why would moondust be your biggest problem?

Correction at 00:26: of course the Moon does not have zero gravity. The gravity on the Moon is about 17% what it is on the Earth.

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere." — Carl Sagan

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.
