"Meng, I never thought I would experience something like this on the Moon."
Thomas stood in the washroom at the center of Habitat 1, turned on the faucet above the basin, and immediately, clear and pure water flowed out smoothly.
The two habitats could store up to 3000 liters of water in total, and every week, purified water from the Kuom Impact Crater would be delivered, sufficient to support "splurging."
Given the normal demands for drinking and washing, sustaining six astronauts was completely feasible, with oxygen and other consumables being provided through electrolysis.
What was initially just a proof-of-concept for the lunar ice mining convoy had now become fully capable of bearing the consumption needs of the early phase of development.
Thomas, who had previously spent nearly 11 months on the International Space Station, was so excited about enjoying such water treatment outside of Earth that he immediately caught some water and began to wash his face.
