Chinese scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made a groundbreaking discovery by finding a way to produce water using minerals in lunar soil brought back from the Chang'e-5 mission. This new method involves extracting hydrogen from the moon soil through high-temperature reactions, leading to the production of water vapor. The researchers believe that this finding could be crucial for China's ambitious plans to establish a permanent lunar outpost and space station. It is reported that one tonne of lunar soil can generate approximately 51-76 kg of water, which could sustain the daily drinking water consumption of 50 people. This development aligns with China's vision of constructing the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) in collaboration with Russia. NASA has expressed concerns about China's rapid progress in space exploration, especially in terms of lunar resource utilization. The discovery of lunar water holds significant implications beyond sustaining human life on the moon; it could also facilitate the creation of hydrogen rocket fuel for future missions to Mars and other celestial bodies. As China sets ambitious targets for lunar exploration by 2035 and 2045, the competition for lunar resources and dominance in space technology intensifies, raising questions about the future of international space cooperation.
