Mining the Moon
Mineral-rich hotspot on the near side of the moon with high concentrations of potassium (K), phosphorous (P), iron-oxide, thorium and rare earth elements (REE). Relying on rock samples from the Apollo mission and on remotely-sensed data, scientists have found REE's in higher concentrations in the KREEP basalt than in the bulk Earth crust. But do these lunar resources beat those of the best REE mines on Earth? Hardly.
