Mining the Moon's regolith layer would enable the production of gas for the life support system of a lunar base. It could also be used to create fuel for launchers that would send humanity further into space. Do you know how thick the layer is on the Moon? #ArianeGrouppic.twitter.com/7GXC5lozU1

The thickness of the regolith varies from about 5 m on mare surfaces to about 10 m on highland surfaces. The bulk of the regolith is a fine gray soil with a density of about 1.5 g/cm3, but the regolith also includes breccia and rock fragments from the local bedrock. Am I right?

Exactly, well done! People speculate even 15 m at some points.
