Business idea
Mine or separate out lunar resources required to create a viable rocket fuel for use around Earth-Moon system and deep space.
Oxygen is readily available. Buy it from Lox manufacturer or create our own refining plant. Aluminum is readily available. Buy it from manufacturer or salvage dealer or create our own refining plant.
Mix the two into a fuel for shipping to customer site or into a solid form of rocket booster suitable for getting off the lunar surface or both.
Market
- Any mass, such as lox, which needs to be delivered to space from lunar surface.
- Short suborbital lunar hopping. Much faster than Rovers or Freight Trucks.
- Mars resupply missions. Need large delta V to Holman to Mars or Aldrin Cyclers.
