The U.S. is exploring a railroad for the moon. It has a good reason. | Mashable
All aboard the lunar express.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA — an ambitious federal innovations division — has begun collaborating with over a dozen companies on potential future lunar technologies, including a moon railroad. The project is called LunA-10 because it's focused on what lunar technology would realistically look like in the 10 years after NASA's Artemis III mission, wherein astronauts will land in the moon's coveted south pole, a region where planetary scientists suspect there's water ice and other resources lodged in dark, shadowy craters. They'll aim to develop a railway that limits the human footprint on the largely still pristine lunar surface, and design a system that anyone could ride or load cargo on (such as with standardized, moon-worthy equipment that can withstand huge temperature swings).
