An international team of engineers and space scientists has used a variety of assumptions, techniques, and math principles to calculate the energy requirements for using moon dust to create rocket fuel. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group outlines all the factors and processes that would be involved in converting regolith to fuel and moving it to a space-based location for filling up a starship.
