Lunar resources are becoming the talk of the aerospace industry, for what they will bring for long-term human exploration on the Moon and in Deep Space. In the past decade, aerospace companies and space agencies have been reaching out to terrestrial exploration companies, such as oil & gas and mining, to ask how technology they use in harsh environments on Earth can be adapted and modified for the lunar environment. Conversations are still new, and there are still a lot more collaborations needed to progress forward to search for resources on the Moon.

In this episode, I speak with Zac Trolley who is the Chief Executive Officer at the Lunar Water Supply Company in Alberta, Canada and has been involved in engineering since 2008. Zac is particularly interested in water-ice and resource potential on the Moon, and help companies understand the potential the Moon has for long-term space exploration. Zac takes me on his journey about how the Lunar Water Supply Company started and what it is about resources on the Moon that drives his passion in the space sector. From this episode, we will learn why the private sector are interested in resources on the Moon, and how non-space and aerospace companies perceive the growing and expanding space sector.
