The Lunar Oxygen Viability Experiment NASA didn’t just let WLBOTT walk in the front door! We went thru a rigorous vetting process (similar to GQP cabinet position appointments). The goal is to create an oxygen-rich atmosphere with an air pressure similar to that at the top of Mt. Everest. How Much Oxygen is Required? As Elder G cheerfully suggests: […]

LOX of L.O.V.E. The Lunar Oxygen Viability Experiment Today WLBOTT embarks on a bold new initiative: LOX of L.O.V.E.
