Titanium treasure found on Moon

Calculate it so that the shipment will fall into an ocean, and recover it from there. Like they used to do with the astronauts.

It still doesn't seem cost effective though. It would take a lot of energy to catapult such a heavy mineral shipment off the lunar surface in the first place.

Astronauts maneuver their reentry vehicle to precise degree when trying to re-enter Earth's surface. Even a small change in the angle will cause them to bounce off the Earth's atmosphere or force them to land at another location..thats one of the reasons NASA have landing locations for their shuttles around the globe including Somalia. So to have such level of accuracy on a piece of rock is just not possible. Even after crashing to ocean (if we are lucky), we have to send in divers or specially equipped submarines to recover them. So your idea just not seems feasible.

It's not just a piece of rock, but a specially designed shipment container, a kind of re-entry vehicle. So it should have the capability to maneuver mid-flight as well.

Anyway, I already said it wasn't cost effective. Just cheaper than a full rocket.

Oil comes from dead plants.

So, no.

Not necessarily. Oil is simply long-chained hydrocarbons. There's quadrillions of megatons of natural gas and probably liquid hydrocarbons out there. We've found them on some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Titan may have more than all of the Earth's reserves. No plants or dinosaurs on Titan.

Crude oil may be geological rather than fossil. There may be enormous amounts being manufactured deep underground, that seep upwards to be tapped by man. Abiotic theory of oil.

As for these space treasures, so long as we need chemical rockets to get at them, they will be cost-prohibitive. Fortunately, the U.S. exploitation of alien technology now ongoing at Area 51 should bear fruit, very soon. We will have fleets of anti-grav drive vehicles with inertial dampening that can pull hundreds of G's and travel to outer space. ;)

We need a paradigm shift in our space technology, as many others have said already. It takes 450 million dollars to just launch a space shuttle. Space by the way is loaded with oil, gas, heavy metals and WATER!

And who is exactly going to reap the profits of the Moon resources?? The US alone?? Doesn't the moon belong to the whole earth or is it US property?? is WW3 going to happen ON the moon or OVER the moon.... Or will it be WW4??



If this news is true than BIG YES coz according to one of the candidate running for presidential election recently said that GOD made American to lead not to follow so they will do what ever to LEAD the world to Pandora and its their right to kill every person of Religion especially Islam coz maximum treasures are in Islamic countries

Im ready to get bashed.

I guess you didn't read the latest Space Projects' Activity Memo: an Earth-moon mini-wormhole is in the works, so no vehicles necessary!

Whoopsy daisy! Time to go mining in space!

So china sending moon miner? When can i expect titanum watch in walmart?
