The Earth's Moon is a giant platinum storehouse?

NASA wants to dig up the Moon because it is a treasure trove of extremely expensive things like platinum, rare earth and unmatched materials on Earth.

NASA's Aviation and Space Agency officials have just revealed in an interview with CNBC that they might exploit the surface of the Moon to find precious metal mines like platinum and many other invaluable materials. . It was part of a plan to return and establish the "Moon Colony " that they had built for this century.

NASA Director, Jim Bridenstine, said that new advances in technology would help "unlock" a range of materials that had never been known to the earth before. Many billionaires and owners of private space companies intend to support NASA in this daring mission like Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, billionaire Elon Musk - SpaceX boss.

According to Mr. Bridenstine, "Ms. Hang" could hide tons of platinum and rare earth . Rare earth is the material most concerned by NASA because currently, more than 80% of US rare earth materials are used from China. Thanks to the Moon, they can find supplies more easily.

In addition, they will use high-quality moon silicon to produce computer chips; Iron and aluminum for construction . Moon mines can also be a source of supply for the Moon base and a "Moon station" - which they plan to make stops and refueling points. of future spacecraft to conquer other planets.

Contrary to the above opinion, said Spunik, Dr. Evgeny Slyuta, head of the Vernadsky Institute of the Moon Chemistry and Planetary Chemistry Laboratory, said that those ambitions were difficult to achieve. Yes, because considering the chemical composition, the mineral content on the Moon is relatively low compared to Earth. The wealth of resources depends in part on the abundant water supply system of that celestial body, which is superior to the Earth.

Instead, Russian aerospace researchers target the Moon's more plentiful and renewable materials, water and hydrogen. If they turn these things into fuel, they will have a strong foothold on the Moon.
