For years, scientists have known that water exists on the Moon, likely in the form of ice in deep craters at the Moon’s poles. As these craters are among the coldest places in the solar system, reaching temperatures as low as -233°C, the prospect of exploring for these resources has always appeared unfeasible.
But that previously impossible task may soon be made possible by leveraging the knowledge gained from conventional oil and gas drilling on Earth.
