By the end of this decade,countries and private companies might start mining the Moon.Now is
the time to create the rules and regulations that will protect humanity's shared future in space and
ensure the Moon remains a symbol and inspiration for generations to come.
This has started a new race to the Moon.Right now,all supplies for space exploration come
from Earth,which makes things like water and fuel very expensive.By the time a single litre of
water gets to the Moon,it costs more than gold.But if we can turn the water ice on the Moon into
hydrogen and oxygen,we can refuel spacecraft there.This could make trips to farther places in
space,like Mars,much easier.
When we take things from the Moon,dust gets kicked up.Since the Moon has no atmosphere,
the dust can go very far.The surface material is "space weathered"and not as bright as the material
underneath.If we disturb the dust,some parts of the Moon might look brighter,while others might
look duller.Managing the dust will be important for making sure mining is sustainable and doesn't
cause too much disruption.
On the moon,you all wish you could find a job with good safety standards,fair pay,and
reasonable hours.But you can't.You are stuck in space.British astrobiologist Charles S.Cockell says
this could lead to similar problems on the earth.Powerful people might be able to take advantage of
workers who have nowhere else to go.
There are some other possible dangers of starting Moon mining without thinking about the risks
to workers.Working in low gravity can cause health problems.Lunar miners might have bone and
muscle loss,kidney and heart damage,and weak immune systems.Besides,lunar miners will also be
alone for a long time and face a lot of psychological stress.
The Moon could be a great place for human exploration and a source of resources to help life
on Earth and beyond.But we need to learn from history and avoid uncontrolled exploitation().
Before we start mining the Moon,we must make strong regulations that focus on fairness,safety,
and human rights.
28.What is the main purpose of establishing rules and regulations for lunar mining
A.To ensure that lunar mining is profitable for private companies.
B.To prevent any country from claiming ownership of the Moon.
C.To facilitate the transportation of supplies from Earth to the Moon.
D.To protect the shared future in space and preserve the Moon as a symbol of inspiration.
29.What is a potential benefit of turning water ice on the Moon into hydrogen and oxygen
A.It will rocket the cost of space exploration.
B.It will create new jobs for people on Earth
