...heat the mixture up to 950 degrees Celsius

Now that's a trick. I guess they are going to do that by burning all the Moon Coal with the oxygen they make in this process.

Cool. All we need is a thorium reactor up there and there will be a constant source of power to make air and metals. That would go a long way to making a sustainable outpost on the moon. Or mars for that matter.

"..........and in related news, geoscientists have announced that they have successfully converted Nancy Pelosi's regolith into a substance labeled, 'old fart dust'. However, it is hard to contain, and and can pollute the atmosphere years after it's half-life has expired."

Draper eventually finds a rock face cave for shelter. He figures out how to obtain the rest of what he needs to survive: he burns some coal-like rocks for warmth and discovers that heating them also releases oxygen. This allows him to refill his air tanks with a hand pump and to move around in the thin Martian atmosphere.

Lots of hydrogen in the solar wind captured on the Moon.
Oxygen has a natural ‘collector’ there.

Water is a very handy substance.

Water in Earth’s atmosphere would cover the planet by 15 foot depth.

Need much more Moon dust. Not enough.

[Openurmind]

Why? Wish they would quit with these expensive “job security” projects that cost the taxpayers.

[BlueMondaySkipper]

Cue the liberals protesting mining on the moon...

[Cowboy Bob]

Great. Now we need a space truck to bring all that dust to earth.
