§ 2 Lunar Materials Utilization    LEFT: Apollo 15 lander & launcher rockets, moon buggy, and astronaut more than 30 years ago Table of Contents:
§ 2.1 Overview of lunar materials and their utilization § 2.2 The origin and composition of the moon
§ 2.2.1 Highlands vs. Lowlands geology
§ 2.2.3.1 For aluminum
§ 2.2.4 Powdery texture (helps in mining and processing) § 2.3 Mining the surface § 2.4 Lunar bases § 2.5 History of lunar probes § 2.6 Others' webpages on lunar materials and utilization Lunar materials utilization is addressed in official circles and websites more than asteroidal materials utilization, largely because there is support within NASA for a "Return to the Moon" mission as a steppingstone to Mars. PERMANENT first tries to fill in the gaps that other WWW sites don't address. Usually, this also means presenting a private sector (profitable) scenario rather than a government bureaucracy (taxpayer) scenario.
