Can we now survive on the moon?
The best solution to this question is being sought after by every researcher as it has been on people’s minds for many years.
Recent research by scientists reveals that, in addition to neon, argon, and hydrogen, the atmosphere of the moon also contains a significant amount of oxygen. This oxygen is not only present in gaseous form but is also trapped in the regolith, the layer of rock and dust that covers the moon’s surface. This finding is in line with increased investments in space exploration and the development of space research technology.
According to a report provided by the Australian Space Agency, the top layer of the moon has enough oxygen to sustain a population of 16 billion people for up to 50,000 years.
It went on to say that many other minerals, which are all around us and may contain oxygen as well, cannot be accessed by our lungs and therefore cannot be used by them. In addition, the moon contains oxygen in a form that the human body can easily react to and is composed of the same minerals and rocks as the earth.
The Australian government agency and NASA have agreed to send a rover to the moon this year in order to gather lunar rocks for the production of breathable oxygen.
We will be able to learn more about this researched fact by the end of 2050 because space application services intend to send some reactors to the Moon by that time.
