Scientists extract oxygen and metal from moon rock efficiently

There's oxygen on the moon and we know how to get it now. In 1969, we were first able to set foot on the Moon. Now, fifty years later, we're about to go back again, this time with bigger dreams of setting up colonies on both the Moon and Mars.
