Once we have got hold of those then we breed them and they will help in securing a breathable planet.

I think this is proof if they can live on the moon then so can we.
Although we may turn pink.

The loss of opposable thumbs may be awkward. Same with the loss of ability to speak though maybe we could move politicians to the moon with out much loss of clarity.


Actually that could be a good idea. Move all parliaments to the moon. They would have to be treat us earth-bound "plebs" really carefully if they want supplies to be delivered and deselection to be less brief and permanent that would be if the deselected one can be brought back down to earth. You would also have to be really sure that you wanted to be elected too.

Actually if they did get isolated on the moon I bet a lot of telescopes would be bought. Would be amusing watching the blighters running around and having to co-operate to survive.

They'd all be having parties draining all the resources we sent to them.

Only for as long as we send them. Country doing badly - survival rations, doing well something extra. And only at certain intervals, so they could binge but then go hungry until the next supply run.

You may wish to read "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A Heinlein…

Spoiler: 
The Loonies (Lunar inhabitants) focused Earth’s attention when they tried to reduce rations by using a mass driver to drop rocks down the gravity well
