(RP) is an in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) technology demonstration mission which will test extraction of oxygen, water and other volatiles from lunar soil (regolith). It will also measure mineralogical content such as silicon and light metals, like aluminum and titanium, from lunar regolith. Expanding human presence beyond low-Earth orbit to asteroids and Mars will require the maximum possible use of local materials, so-called in-situ resources, and the moon presents a unique destination to conduct robotic investigations that advance ISRU capabilities, as well as providing significant exploration and science value.
Retail is dieing.
Buffett’s been paring his stake in Walmart since. He first bought shares in Walmart in 2005.
He said Amazon’s competitors, “including us in a few areas, have not figured the way to either participate in it, or to counter it.”
