Musk wants a ‘self-growing city’ on the Moon: Does the Moon have enough water?

 According to new research, water scarcity emerges as a pressing issue for potential lunar cities.

While smaller lunar communities may persist longer, further investigation is indispensable before committing to extensive colonization initiatives. According to new research, water scarcity emerges as a pressing issue for potential lunar cities.
