 London, UK (The Conversation) Jan 01, 2021 
When it comes to the Moon, everyone wants the same things. Not in the sense of having shared goals, but in the sense that all players target the same strategic sites - state agencies and the private sector alike. That's because, whether you want to do science or make money, you will need things such as water and light.
Many countries and private companies have ambitious plans to explore or ... more |
