🚀 Musk's Moon City Plan Hits Water Hurdle 💧

Elon Musk envisions a self-growing city on the Moon within the next ten years. This ambitious plan involves SpaceX focusing on a lunar metropolis, but a new study raises serious questions about water availability. Even with generous estimates, the water supply might only last over a century for a million people, assuming high recycling. If the actual water reserves are much lower, the timeline shrinks drastically, potentially to just a decade. Therefore, while smaller settlements are possible, the vision of a massive, self-sustaining lunar city faces major resource challenges.
