I would have liked to recommend this as an educational mini-game, but it prevented me; it does have educational potential, though. The ending was funny, with the trombone sound. The charger was neat! The mapgen is standard, but nice nonetheless, and the game doesn't overstay its welcome either, being over quickly if you don't dig down...
As I said, even though it teaches the geology of the Moon, the fact every single material you mine in eccess has to be placed again in the world leads someone who, to their dismay, committed the mistake of starting to dig downwards, to spend even more time at it; and for what? To be left angry at yourself for wasting said time lol.
I'll try this again when it receives some more content additions, for now I can't recommend it.
Digging downwards isn't that helpful if you know that the geology goes in biomes yes. I'm not sure how to address this without adding to the wall of text. The instructions need an overhaul to more step-by-step instead of the information dump at the start, and there might be an instruction trigger for going too deep "Your mission doesn't require deep excavation" and a reminder when your inventory is getting full or your charger is empty to return to base.
Thanks for bug (1), I hadn't spotted that one before nor other reviewers. Almost everyone seems to have hit (2) annoyingly enough it's quite common to spam click apparently..

These are the bugs I found:
1) When the inventory fills up, other stacks of nodes make a cacophony of noises, when passing over them.
2) Bug when using the drill repeatedly:
