lunar resources
Lunar resources refer to the materials and elements found on the surface of the Moon that can be utilized for various purposes. These include water ice, which can be used for drinking, oxygen production, and rocket fuel, as well as minerals like helium-3, a potential fuel for future nuclear fusion reactors.
Exploring and utilizing these resources could support long-term human presence on the Moon and facilitate deeper space exploration. The extraction of lunar resources may also reduce the need to transport materials from Earth, making space missions more sustainable and cost-effective.
