Countries like China, the US, and Russia are setting their sights on the Moon. But is it purely for the advancement of mankind, or is there profit to be found? Mining for Helium-3, metals and rare-earths on the Moon might be closer than we expect. Astrum merch now available! Apparel: teespring.com/... Metal Posters: displate.com/p...

One aspect of mining asteroids, the moon, or even mars which isn't often discussed is that it is easier to get their raw materials into space. If, for example, you wanted to build a 2km diameter spinning space station with artificial gravity, it will likely be cheaper to get those materials from the moon or Mars because of the costs associated with getting those same materials out of Earth's gravity well.

As for pollution as long as it is not in orbit they can pollute to their hearts content. The more the merrier. Toxic waste no problem. Radioactive waste no problem.

@m_train Gaming I think pirates will not be very likely. It is very hard to hide in space. If you are on the moon and a ship is coming and you know it is unfriendly one shot from a 50cal gun would end it and there is nothing they could do to avoid it. They couldn't dodge it. Not enough fuel. The mining base on the other hand would have the advantage. Even if you managed to hijack a ship all you have to do is wait for them at the destination. Once a ship is on its way you don't have enough fuel to go anywhere other than the prearranged destination.

@astrumspace
@astrumspace 3 года назад
I may have not explained my thinking so well in the video, I'm probably jumping the gun here. I think research is being done to "dope" lithium-ion batteries with rare-earths to achieve an improved electrochemical performance, but you are right, it isn't currently the norm. But I believe that if the performance gains are enough, and companies start using rare earths in batteries, then that will increase demand. And yes, you are right, rare earths are being used in other parts of the EV too.

Two helium-3 nuclei combine to form helium-4, releasing two protons. The product of the reaction, helium-4, is lower in mass, by about 0.7%, than the reactants (four hydrogen nuclei) that went into creating it. This occurs because the hydrogen looses some mass in the form of energy.

Have we tought about how taking weight off the moon with transformation of the ressources could affect the water movement on the earth on a long term scale? I think the moon loss of mass over many years could have huge impact over the earth current balance. Any thoughts? Am i thinking too far?

Interesting question! Here's some back of the napkin math: The moon weighs ~7.35 × 10^22 kg. The British Geological Survey estimated that that, globally, we extracted about 3.25×10^12 kg of metals from earth in 2019. It's kinda hard to mentally visualize, but even if we were somehow able to extract the same amount of material from the moon every year for a thousand years, or even a hundred thousand years, the moon would still weight about ~7.35 × 10^22 kg. So no, it wouldn't affect the gravity or tides of earth. At all.

Mining of the moon should be mostly automated with use of drones. The lack of gravity is too hard on human physiology for people to stay there for any length of time (same problem for Mars) so we need to advance our understanding of gravity if we plan to colonize but short missions for setting up automated operations should be very lucrative for those willing to invest in the future of extraterrestrial mining infrastructure including asteroids.

I don’t believe that the moon should be claimed by any one country. Not even in portions. It should be a joint ownership by all. Jointly mined by all. Most definitely not The CCP. I would be concerned we would pay dearly and not just for rare earths.

maneuvering thrusters use extremely volatile hydrazine. If there is even a tiiiiiny leak in a thruster valve it will slowly build up on the thruster mouth where it freezes due to zero pressure. Then when the trusters are used that ice is blown away

Space is space. Unlike water, once you can survive/overcome the hazards anywhere, you can go everywhere. While the moon is not the gravity well the earth is, it's still a substantial gravity well to overcome. Asteroids are not. An orbiting observatory designed to pick for optimum size and substance is much more feasible and safer and cost effective than anything moon related, in my mind; as is an orbiting factory to process the material. ISS is blazing that trail too.

I dont see any mention of how these mined metals might be transported to earth. Without a solution to this problem its not happening. How would a spaceship full of iron even manage to lift off from the moon and then slow itself sufficiently for landing. The six Apollo moon missions that returned with moonrocks managed to ship back a meagre 840 pounds in total weight.

Not just the Moon but the asteroids too can be mined.

Profit is good because you need that to fund more infrastructure. And the kids need shoes... S.W.
