To mill moon dust

NASA will begin mining the moon.

The Space Agency has paid US tech firm Lunar Outpost, with a token cheque, of 10 cents, to mill moon dust and transport it back to earth.

Scientists hope to use the substance to make a building material - similar to cement or create rocket fuel from the dust which they say will aid future space exploration.
