If you can’t keep track of all the new action around the moon, you’re not alone.

In coming years, more are likely, including commercial ventures focused on making money from the moon, perhaps by mining or tourism.
Right now many are heading for the same target, the moon's south pole, which is believed to have significant deposits of ice. That ice could be the key to helping humans learn to live and outside of Earth's atmosphere.
