Scientists in Italy have found the first lunar cave under the lunar surface.
It could be a site for a lunar base, as it offers shelter from 'the harsh surface environment' and could support long-term human exploration of the moon.
It comes as NASA continues with its ambition to set up its ' Artemis Base Camp' in the lunar south region by the end of the decade .
Experts tell MailOnline how the first settlers could set up camp on our lunar satellite.
Moondwellers could live and sleep in 3D-printed houses, or play football on laser-cut pitches in Prada spacesuits.
Space agencies are generally interested in landing at the southern region of the moon due to the rich reserves of water there, frozen as ice.
It could be a source of drinking water for moon explorers and could help cool equipment, or be broken down to produce hydrogen for fuel and oxygen to breathe.
Ultimately, there are still many decisions NASA has to make regarding how the first lunar base camp would be established.
