Water limits could cap moon's population, scientists say
Scientists say the Moon's scarce water resources could place a hard limit on how many people could live there long-term. Water is essential for drinking, oxygen production and rocket fuel, and available supplies in lunar ice deposits may not support large settlements. The finding matters as space agencies plan permanent lunar bases under programs like NASA's Artemis.
Why now: Space agencies are actively planning permanent lunar bases, making research on the Moon's resource limits timely.
