Potential for Industrial Activities on Low-Gravity Bodies

Asteroid mining for resources like water near the moon would be practical for refueling missions, rather than extracting precious metals for return to Earth. In the upcoming century, in situ resource utilization will likely drive space exploration, with astronauts using local materials for station construction and fuel production, as it may not be economically viable to extract resources for Earth-bound use.
