A maglev system on the moon could make lunar logistics a breeze

Maglevs are one of those technologies that still look like magic, even years after they were initially rolled out. While they have long been a workhorse of the transportation systems of some major cities, they don’t often impact the day-to-day lives of people who don’t use them to commute. But, they might be invaluable in another setting—lunar exploration. There’s an ongoing debate about the best way to shuttle stuff around on the moon’s surface, and a team from JPL and a company called SRI International think they have a solution—deploy a maglev track on the moon.
