I thought this would be a cool kind of topic to put up for discussion.
1)How realistic would a moon base be for mining and production of metals.
2)How realistic would the moon be for a Rocket launch area dont know how to word that. Anyways since the moon has practically no gravity we could end up having an easier time launching stuff.
My input for question one.
Moonbase: This is by far the coolest thing I have been thinking about for a while now, so you could have plastic domes to protect people on the moon from radiation coming from the sun and maybe a centripetal force type of thing spinning around the plastic dome to make some sort of gravity so you dont have the loss of bone density/mass.
The moon is in abundance of metals particularly in oxide form.
Maria Highlands
SiO2. 45.4%. 45.5%
Al2O3 14.9%. 24.0%
CaO 11.8% 15.9%
(iron(II) FeO)14.1% 5.9%
MgO. 9.2%. 7.5%
TiO2 3.9% 0.6%
Na2O 0.6% 0.6%
Total 99.9% 100.0%
You could split the oxygen from the metals, and then(be weary here my chemistry isn't that up to snuff) but you will be left with a metal and gas oxygen which can be used for an oxidizer for rockets and then there is water on the moon which allows for electrolysis to be split into hydrogen and more oxygen !
Why this Is important, well you could provide the domes with air and also produce rocket fuel on the moon! I will post the second part just wanna see if I'm crazy or if the stuff I'm saying is technically feasible. Discuss ! :)
