Locating and mining resources is vital for sustaining human life on the moon. Without oxygen, water, food and, materials, astronauts would not be able to stay in orbit for long periods of time. Successfully gaining these resources is vital for sustaining human presence on the Moon and exploration. Unless human beings go into space with the ability to independently manufacture infrastructure, robots etc., they won’t be self sufficient. They will rely on these items being launched into space from earth which is both expensive and damaging to the environment. Building safe and fit for purpose infrastructure is paramount for human life on the Moon. Infrastructure must be able to withstand environmental hazards and enable astronauts to undertake everything from daily menial tasks to complex science experiments. Finally, ensuring that all our proposed solutions are sustainable on both the earth and the moon is important to us. We want future generations to have the same access to resources or better than we have now.
