CHINA has tabled plans for a magnetic Moon launcher that can catapult pricey lunar materials back to Earth.Researchers call it the magnetic levitation facility, and it works on the same principle as the hammer throw in athletics.
More than that, experts believe there is an abundance of precious lunar materials - like Helium-3 - that are lurking beneath the regolith at the south pole. "The project will also boost the development of space mining technologies, heavy launch vehicles, and artificial intelligence.” In a report, the Universities Space Research Association said that the price of transporting precious metals like Platinum and Rhodium back to Earth wouldn't be cost-effective.So-called 'cold traps' dotted on lunar surface are believed to contain gases like Helium-3 which can help produce huge amounts of energy here on Earth.
