lunar mining

Lunar mining involves extracting valuable materials from the Moon's surface, such as water ice, rare metals, and minerals. These resources could support future space missions, like providing water for drinking, fuel, or constructing materials with minimal Earth imports. The Moon's lack of atmosphere and low gravity make mining activities different from Earth, requiring specialized technology. By harvesting lunar resources, we can reduce the cost and complexity of deep space exploration and potentially establish sustainable bases on the Moon for scientific research and commercial purposes.
