I’d like to know who’s done any mapping of the resources of the moon? Who’s identified the ore bodies and how far down are they? Bit ridiculous to put a timeline on it.

Cognitive dissonance, like “flying cars”. We already have them, and they’re called “airplanes”.

We already have mining, and it takes place on earth.

There is no incontrovertible evidence that man has ever set foot on the the moon:
-Van Allen radiation belts.
-Moon lander feet have no dust on them after landing.
-Moon lander creates no thrust crater below the lander, after landing.
-“Astronauts” on guy-wires.
-Radiation does not kill moon-walking astronauts as they walk about in the full gamma and Xray radiation of the sun.
-Car on the moon? Sure. How “60’s.”
-Moon return never done.

Now this fool expects me to believe we have an economically sound case to mine the moon? Based on what? Show me the rock chip assay results. Show me the drill result results with assays. Show me the justification for a more advanced exploration program, with a 43-101 and maybe we’ll talk. By the way, what are the specs for moon transit in a 43-101? I’m not clear on that.

“Fake news” like this used to be called “Propaganda” amongst the educated.

I will forever regard mining.com as a substandard propaganda rag henceforth. Editor, where (or what?) are you?

Good day.

It is very intresting news and it will take to do a risk analysis very thoroughly specially taking in account catastrophic events .

The earth becomes heavier than its norm and we fall from the universe. Stop it

Mining the moon must not be allowed by all means. Even if the Moon present a perfect source for spacecraft fuel (water), it will lead to overmining and may represent a great danger into the Moon’s structure stability. Just remember that the Moon pays a big role into the Earth physics. Need to watch again the Time Machine film.
This is the opinion from a Mining Engineer / Astrophysics researcher in regolith based projects.

Too expensive. Helium 3 makes fusion nicer…yes toxic waste free! But using good ol H20 and extracting the low concentrations of deuterium and breeding tritium from Li here on earth will always be massively cheaper. Mining the moon for metals to build space stations and habitats is a possibility tho. Or to fuel He3 reactors on the moon. If it stays on the moon it may work but not to bring it back. We might even get feasible fusion in the next 10 years…but it seems the He3 fusion reaction is much more difficult than even the deuterium/ tritium reaction.

This stupidity pops up every few yrs or so. Earth is Flat and stationary and nobody is going anywhere to mine anything but here on Earth. Either pure propaganda or someone is getting scammed outta their money by investing in unicorns.
