Summary
Early 2030s is when Voyager Technologies CEO Dylan Taylor says humans will "definitely" be living and working on the moon, with a moon base visible from Earth through settlement lights.
26 years of continuous human presence on the International Space Station underpin his view that the industry is scaling from a handful of astronauts to much larger off-world operations.
First lunar jobs, he said, are likely to center on resource mining, orbital data centers and power-grid construction, work he argues humanoid robots cannot handle alone.
Taylor's forecast carries weight in part because Voyager's 2025 listing valued the company at $3.8 billion, and he himself flew on Blue Origin in 2021 as the 606th person to reach space.
Mars remains a longer-term contingency in his view because of distance and radiation, even as Musk targets crewed missions from 2028 and Bezos envisions millions living in space by 2045.
