The Moon can also offer access to various resources, including ways to create water and fuel in space. Water is a crucial element of life, and space exploration hinges on the ability to recycle or produce water in space.

The study, published in the journal The Innovation, describes a new method that can potentially produce about a hundred 500ml bottles worth of water from a ton of lunar soil. In the research, scientists showed that by heating lunar regolith above 1,200K with concave mirrors, each gram of the Moon soil can help generate water.

A small step for man, a big step for mankind: scientists have found a way to turn the Moon’s dusty surface into a reliable water source. Researchers in China developed a novel method for extracting significant amounts of water from lunar soil,
