  A human-robotic "Moon Village" would offer significant scientific
opportunities by providing an infrastructure on the lunar surface. An analogy
would be the way in which human outposts in Antarctica facilitate research
activities across multiple scientific disciplines on that continent. Scientific
fields expected to benefit from a Moon Village will include: planetary science,
astronomy, astrobiology, life sciences, and fundamental physics. In addition, a
Moon Village will help develop the use of lunar resources, which will yield
additional longer-term scientific benefits.
