    Scientific expeditions have revealed that there are more than 100 known minerals on the moon, five of which are not found on Earth. The moon rock also contains a large amount of aluminum, magnesium, calcium, etc., and the oxygen content in the lunar soil accounts for 40%. It is worth mentioning that lunar soil also contains helium-3, which is rare on Earth.

    Pang Zhihao introduced that helium-3 is an isotope of helium, which can release huge energy in nuclear fusion reactions, and almost does not produce radioactive pollution, which is considered to be the perfect energy source for mankind in the 21st century.

    It is estimated that 100 tons of nuclear fusion power generation can ensure the earth's energy needs for a year, and the moon contains about 1 million to 5 million tons of helium-3, so it can be used by humans for more than 10,000 years. In addition, there are abundant mineral deposits on the moon, and this exploration of the material composition and available resources on the lunar surface will make it possible for us to build an energy base and resource base on the moon in the future. At the same time, solar radiation on the moon can produce 1.2 billion kilowatts of energy per year, and building a solar power station on the moon may also become a way to obtain new energy.

    In 2015, NASA will try to make history by planting plants on the moon. If they succeed, it will be the first time that humanity has brought life to another planet. Conditions on the Moon are more characteristic of outer space than anywhere else we can reach, and they are very different from growing plants on the space shuttle or space station.

    The experiment will test whether plants can survive and thrive in a small, controlled environment in the face of radiation from outer space and some weightlessness – the same hurdles that need to be overcome to build greenhouses on the moon and life on Mars. It may also help us gain insight into how crops can be grown in the uninhabitable climate on Earth, ultimately providing theoretical support for human life in outer space.

    Therefore, humans explore the moon both to colonize the moon and to exploit resources, both.

    The earth is still the most suitable place for human survival, so most of it should be the extraction of resources.

    China's Chang'e-4 lunar probe landed on the far side of the moon (the side facing away from the Earth) and successfully cultivated a cottonseed plant on the lunar surface through an artificial biosphere.

    Helium-3 is an isotope of helium, which can release huge amounts of energy in nuclear fusion reactions, and produces almost no radioactive contamination, which is considered the perfect energy source for mankind in the 21st century.

    This is because several companies have expressed interest in mining on the Moon, and it is possible to drill from the surface of the Moon in search of rare minerals including gold, platinum, and a wide range of applications in electronics.

    The exploitation of resources, the resources of the earth are already depleted, and the exploitation of resources is necessary for the development of human production.

    There are too many scattered planets in the universe that are better suited to exploration than the Moon, but they are so far away from Earth that it would have been impossible to select distant stars in the early days of space exploration. The moon is the closest to the earth, is the natural choice of human beings to explore the universe, the moon is not suitable for human habitation, human beings spend a lot of manpower and material resources to explore the moon, the moon itself is also extremely valuable for exploration. The surface of the Moon is known to be riddled with craters of various sizes, the result of countless comets and asteroids colliding with each other over billions of years.

    Much of this information is obscured by the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, the atmosphere is the protective cover of the Earth's ecosystem, and it is also a thick barrier that absorbs a large amount of cosmic rays and electromagnetic waves, resulting in the loss of information when observing space from the Earth's surface. The Moon is not covered, and if a research base is established on the surface of the Moon, distant galaxies and celestial bodies can be better observed. Although the construction project has not yet begun, it is undeniable that the Moon is an excellent platform for studying space, which makes the lunar exploration project even more important.

    When the rocket lifts off, the atmosphere does not deviate from orbit, so the rocket rising from the Earth must force its way through the atmosphere, which will experience tremendous drag, which will consume a lot of energy. A well-established space base has been established on the moon, and many launch missions can be carried out directly from the moon, which will greatly save energy for rushing to the pihu. At the same time, the moon itself is rich in energy, and once mined, many space missions can be self-sufficient on lunar bases without having to transport energy from Earth.

    Therefore, the Moon can provide an important basis for human research projects, such as analyzing the characteristics of various celestial bodies, constructing the evolution of the solar system, and even tracing the origin and evolution of life, in order to better understand the relationship between space phenomena and the Earth's natural systems. To sum up, the lunar exploration project has both practical and historical significance, so human beings will spend a lot of manpower and material resources to explore the moon.

    It may be because human beings want to study the entire universe, and human beings, as a master of the world, want to know more things and make good use of these resources.

    Because there are meteorites on the surface of the moon, the moon has resources worth exploiting, so humans want to explore the moon.

    Analysis: 1. Mineral resources: Moon rock contains all the chemical elements in the earth's crust and about 60 kinds of mineral deposits, and is also rich in helium 3, an energy source that is not found on the earth, which is the most ideal fuel for nuclear fusion reactions.

    2. Solar energy resources: The moon has no atmosphere and has no weakening of solar radiation, so the conditions for using solar energy are better.

    3. Space resources: high vacuum, strong radiation, weightlessness and other conditions on the moon can be used for space experiments and even building space factories.

    The Moon is the first stop for human interstellar voyages and a transit point for interstellar migration.

    Moon rock contains a lot of silicates, which can be used to build all kinds of buildings. Iron, titanium, aluminum, and other rare elements that are not found on Earth can be mined, smelted, and used to make various equipment for use on the space station or back to Earth. With no atmospheric obstruction, large-scale solar power plants with high efficiency can be built on the moon to provide sufficient energy for all kinds of development activities.

    NASA scientists announced that they had found water on the surface of the moon. The news immediately caught the attention of the whole world.

    The helium-3 on its surface is a rare nuclear fuel on Earth, and if all of it were extracted, it could meet the world's energy needs for hundreds or even thousands of years.
