[Space] India Lands Spacecraft on South Pole of Moon

It certainly feels like it. Especially the "Largest" carbon capture plant we have on earth captures something like 10 thousand pounds a year of carbon out of the atmosphere, and we'd need to extract like 50 tons a year for the rest of our lives to un-do the damage we've done.

Moon and asteroid studies absolutely would be critical first steps too. As you said it's low hanging fruit and we can learn a ton potentially just by studying elements that have traveled across the galaxy that haven't been burned up through our atmosphere first.

The Australian Space Agency, in partnership with NASA, is working with Australia’s space industry to design and build an Australian-made rover. It’s part of the Trailblazer program under the Moon to Mars initiative.

Drawing on Australia’s world-leading remote operations expertise, the rover will collect lunar soil, known as regolith. NASA will attempt to extract oxygen from the sample. This is a key step towards a sustainable human presence on the Moon.

The rover will go to the Moon as part of a future Artemis mission by as early as 2026.
Australians can enter a name that will be in the running to be selected for the rover.

Individuals and schools across Australia can enter a rover name, along with a brief explanation for choosing it.

To get Australian students excited and engaged in the opportunity, schools can download a presentation and supporting materials.
