A Gloucestershire company, Naicker Scientific, has cleverly designed a system to produce clean drinking water on the moon using readily available materials.
Their innovative solution involves a microwave, a motorized device for feeding wood chips, and surprisingly, sound waves to purify the lunar ice.
This groundbreaking technology won them a substantial £150,000 prize in the Aqualunar Challenge, a competition focused on lunar water extraction.
The invention could revolutionize future moon missions by providing a sustainable and reliable source of drinking water for astronauts.
