In a groundbreaking step towards establishing a human presence on the Moon , NASA extracted oxygen from simulated lunar soil in a “dirty” chamber with similar conditions to the Moon’s environment. During a recent test at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, scientists were able to produce oxygen from the soil in a vacuum environment for the first time, the space agency announced on Tuesday.
