Is coal found on Mars?

Nearly all coal and oil on Earth and most sedimentary source rocks associated with coal, oil, and natural gas contain molecules of biological origin and is proof of past life. If Mars possessed an Earth-like biosphere in the past, Mars may contain subsurface deposits of oil and natural gas indicating past life.

Has there been drilling on the moon?

Recent reports from China also states that the lander has already begun drilling in the moon’s surface using a robotic arm and will do so for two days. It will collect anywhere between two to four kgs of lunar samples to bring back.

What resources are in our solar system?

This history explains the zones of resources we have in the solar system:

• Solar energy is from the center of the solar system.
• Silicate materials are mainly in the rocky planets.
• Metals are mainly in the asteroid belt.
• Hydrogen and Helium are mostly in the gas giant planets.
