space resource utilization

Space resource utilization involves extracting and using materials from celestial bodies like the Moon, asteroids, or planets to support space activities and reduce Earth's resource dependence. This includes harvesting water for rocket fuel, gaining rare minerals, or using materials for construction. By tapping into these extraterrestrial resources, we can enable sustainable long-term space exploration, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact on Earth. It’s a strategic approach to leverage resources beyond our planet, making space missions more viable and supporting future developments in space infrastructure.
