The moon is a familiar planet, and now there are lunar probes and astronauts landing on the moon. The reason why everyone is so keen on the study of the moon is that besides familiarity, there are also rich resources on the moon.

lunar soil is the first resource on the moon. In fact, when the astronauts landed on the moon, they had already brought back some soil on the surface of the moon. Through research, it is found that the lunar soil can not only be directly used as a protective material without processing, but also contains various elements.

The oxygen content in the lunar soil is as high as 41%. This oxygen can be extracted as rocket propellant, and can also be supplied to spacecraft in orbit or synthetic water for human use. It is of great significance to aerospace.

The content of silicon in lunar soil reaches 21%. As a rare resource, silicon has played a vital role in many scientific and technological developments, such as being used in solar cells. This is of great benefit to the development of science and technology.

In addition, the lunar soil also contains aluminum (14%), iron (4%), calcium and a small amount of titanium, manganese, magnesium, chromium and helium. Many of them are rare resources, which are relatively few on the earth, so it is good for the whole world to develop moon resources.

In addition to lunar soil, lunar natural glass is also a very important resource. This natural glass can be made into high-strength structural composite materials after physical treatment. It is very difficult to produce such materials from scratch, but it is natural on the moon. How can it not be exciting?

helium -3 is still abundant on the moon. Helium -3 is an isotope of helium, which may be used in controlled nuclear fusion (commonly known as artificial sun) in the future, providing a lot of energy for human beings. Nuclear fusion will not produce long-term and high-level nuclear radiation, nuclear waste and greenhouse gases, and it will not pollute the environment basically, so it is a very clean energy source. However, if helium -3 is used for nuclear fusion, neutrons will not be generated, which saves the trouble of corresponding radiation protection.

Although both belong to the solar system, there are few helium -3 resources on the earth, so if we can develop the helium -3 resources on the moon, it will play a great role in the development of science and technology in all walks of life, which is why all countries are making efforts to explore the moon and hope to develop the resources on the moon to a greater extent.

However, although the resources on the moon are very exciting, we are more concerned with protecting the whole universe. Even if we want to use the resources on the moon, we should try our best not to do too much harm to it, which is also a long and arduous task.
