DailyDirt: That's No Moon...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
The moon is a nice place to visit, but you probably wouldn't want to live there. We've left quite a bit of space junk behind on the surface of our nearest natural satellite, but maybe someday we will go back and clean up after ourselves. Here are just a few more quick links about some moon projects.
- Shackleton Energy wants to be the first company to set up a lunar base for mining the moon and offering a re-fueling depot for spacecraft. If you think gas prices are high, the prices for refueling cryogenic liquid propellants in space are insane... [url]
- NASA has released a detailed map of the moon using data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft. A single pixel on this map corresponds to about 100 meters of elevation on the moon. [url]
- If you've ever wondered what the moon smells like... there's an app for that. Spoiler: It smells like gunpowder, not cheese. [url]
