## Resource

Imagine this: instead of rockets, scientists want to build a giant catapult… on the Moon. Sounds like pure sci-fi, but it’s real — and the goal is to launch materials straight from the lunar surface and beam clean energy back to Earth. If it works, we could power our world in ways we’ve only dreamed of. From solar farms on the Moon to futuristic space tech that could change everything, this project feels like the first page of a new chapter in human history.
