THE MOON

 

(Insert Information about the moon here.)

 

REGOLITH

 

Regolith is lunar rock pulverized and transformed over millions of years by meteor impacts at 30 thousand miles per hour. It has a rich mixture of minerals trapped in glassy grains down to the size of smoke!  40% by weight is oxygen! The fine particles have the potential to hold trapped water. It is the building material of choice and a radiation guard for the people planning to live on the moon.

 

It has got to be dug!

 

Lunar bases and roving robots staking claim for China, India, Russia, USA, and others by 2020!
