An experiement was done by nasa recently which resulted to moon soil turining into oxygen. This is huge deal, this could confirm that when our little precious world dies we can still survive somehow and not be extinct. Now your all probobly wondering how they did this. A lens focused a beam on sun light on to a moon rock or soil untill the focused beam of light reach 2500C and after that point most of the substance had turned into oxygen. pretty cool i say. Now just try that with mars and we will know for sure that we wont become instinct.
hope this interests you guys. post some comments |

Unfortunately, this doesn't help much when it comes to food: growing and maintaining it. Where are we going to get the water? Many other questions come about that we need to worry about.

Wow! That is so cool. I wonder how much energy had to be used to create such a feat? Would it be viable on a mass scale?
And true, this wouldn't really help when it came to food and plants and all that, but I don't really think it can hurt them either. It's a step in the right direction, and I'm always eager to hear what new things they are coming up with next Keep it up NASA! |

Yeah definitely need to see some credibility to this report, although with today's technology it's definitely possible. As for the food issue mentioned a few posts up, obviously soon enough we'll discover ways for that as well...I mean come on, look at all the fake and chemically preserved and made food we eat today...
I don't doubt one day we will have humans living on the moon. Won't be costly at all though

Yes, we might discover a way to support food and water, and yes, this may not affect food and water. But, just how much time do we really have? Earth is starting to become a burden on us, if not already started. Oxygen is more easily obtainable than food and water. Just build something with centralized air, like most of us have in our homes. Astronauts dont need air when they're in the shuttle out in space because it's supplied to them. Plus, i hear the moon and other planets protect the earth from certain meteors. What if we were to live on a different planet and be proned to meteors? Such a meteor could tear a hole in the exterior, and it would create a vacuum sucking others out into space, if not all. I'm just saying, there's more that we should be thinking about than just oxygen. Though, i do find it hard to believe that a "laser" turned moon soil into air. And if it did, how do we know the same will happen with other planet's soil? We can only assume it will be the same.
