The Colorado School of Mines and the University of Hawaii at Hilo will be teaming up to conduct joint research work on how humans can learn to live on other worlds, the Associated Press reports.
The Colorado School of Mines Center for Space Resources is working with Lockheed Martin on how to produce oxygen from lunar soil. The Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems in Hilo focuses on developing new technologies for future space explorers and settlers.
