Is NASA Really Planning To Mine The Moon?

Description:

Late last week India celebrated as it became the fourth country to land on the moon. 

It was an unmanned mission, with two robots deploying onto the moons surface. But it's the where and why that's raising some questions. India landed on the moon's rocky south pole - the first nation to do so, to study orbit, atmosphere and resources like lunar ice. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the moon, what’s on it, and why space agencies around the world are racing to get there first.
