Unfortunately, Kevlar is a carbon-based polymer, and carbon is in short supply on the Moon.
- midoridensha 4y agoPerhaps the carbon could be flown to the Moon from Earth, and combined there with the available oxygen and hydrogen to manufacture kevlar. (Not sure about nitrogen; is that available on the Moon?)
- skykooler 4y agoThere's a small amount that gets embedded by the solar wind, but not enough to be extracted practically.
