The Moon is no longer a static celestial body that we admire from a distance. It is a complex geological world with active water cycles, exotic carbon chemistry, potential fusion fuel reserves, and a volcanic history that defies our models. The data returned by the Chang’e missions have systematically dismantled the old view of a dry, dead Moon. In its place, we have found a world that is rich in resources and ready for habitation. The question is no longer if humanity will return to the Moon to stay. The question is how fast we can build the infrastructure to harvest what we now know is waiting for us.
