Humans may soon be able to live on the Moon thanks to an oxygen-generating machine.
A British company have been working on technology to extract breathable air from lunar rocks and hope to launch the project in the next two years.
The developments may lay the groundwork for a human base on the Moon in the future.
Roger Ward, the chief technical officer at Thales Alenia Space, said: “Once upon a time, putting people on the Moon was a huge challenge, but it should become almost routine in the next few years.”
Ward continued: “We want to provide oxygen to manned lunar research stations, which are permanent, and people go backwards and forwards from – rather than for a few days every 20 years.”
