Titanium Found On the Moon

Summary: Titanium is not the strongest metal known to man. It is extremely useful and powerful, and the reason why it is mistaken for the strongest metal is because it’s the most commonly used. It is the lightest of the strong metals, while Tungsten is the strongest and heaviest. Apparently, there is Titanium on the moon according to a photo taken by a high-tech camera that detects the colors of different chemicals. So unless we get an actual test of this, there will be no real proof that there is Titanium on the moon.

Critique: Learning about this is interesting. Did you know that people are actually buying space on the moon? There is an actual place where you can go (this is confusing politics, because the moon isn’t really anybody’s to sell but I guess he has a license or something . . .?). But really, no matter how much money you have, you can’t go to the moon without NASA’s help. What I mean is one way or another, the money from the titanium will end up going to the government anyways.

Impact: If we can get this titanium, it would be a big deal for us. And when I say “us”, I mean everyone. Who knows who will get to it first? If Russia ends up claiming it all, we may buy some from them. There’s really nothing wrong with that except for the fact that we already owe them a few billion dollars. And I think it’s more of an accomplishment factor than anything else. Like, “Hey! We’re America! We owe everybody money but we have Titanium from the moon!” Mark my words: there will be a huge demand for Space Metal. Titanium is pretty expensive here on earth so Titanium from the Moon would be extremely expensive, not to mention hard to get in the first place.
