Moon mineral exploitation

Moon mineral exploitation involves extracting valuable resources from the Moon’s surface, such as rare metals and elements like helium-3, which can be used for energy. This process includes identifying promising areas, transporting equipment, and mining the lunar regolith (soil). Technological advances aim to make extraction efficient and sustainable, with potential benefits for Earth's industries and space exploration. However, it also raises concerns about environmental impact and international regulations. Overall, lunar resource exploitation aims to tap into the Moon’s abundant materials to support future space activities and address resource scarcity on Earth.
