Space Engineers Plan Possible Moon Base at the Moon's South Pole: On the Ice!
"Space engineers have honed in on one possible site for a lunar outpost: the Moon's south pole. It's a tactical setting on the rim of Shackleton Crater, a feature some 12 miles (19 kilometers) in diameter. There's real estate here that basks in near-perpetual sunlight. Also, it's a region that is a doorway into the depths of always dark, Sun-deprived, territory. What's possibly lurking there in that super-cold darkness is water ice-portrayed by some researchers as the gold standard for future exploration on and from the Moon. Yet there is considerable debate about this resource. If there, such a raw storehouse might be processed into usable oxygen and hydrogen." http://www.space.com/scienceastronom...lunar_ice.html Double-A |
